Would you like to add meta tags to your phpBB 3? That's what I'm going to discuss in this tutorial.

Introduction

Meta tags are edited and added in the overall_header.html file in your style's template directory. The two default phpBB styles (and the ones that the vast majority of styles are based off of) are prosilver and subsilver2.

For prosilver, the overall_header.html file is located at your main phpBB directory/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html. For subsilver2, it would be your main phpBB directory/styles/subsilver2/template/overall_header.html. If you are using a different style, you can find the overall_header.html file in the very same way, just by going to that styles folder rather than prosilver or subsilver2.

Where Do I Find Them?

The meta tags are in the top of the overall_header.html file. For both of the default phpBB 3 styles, they are in the first 13 lines. Here is the first 13 lines of prosilver:
