Easily Disable Required Meta Title Field in OpenCart
By default, OpenCart requires a Meta Title for products, categories, information pages, and manufacturers. However, if you're using an SEO extension that can automatically generate meta titles in bulk, manually entering them every time can be redundant and time-consuming. This extension allows you to disable the required meta title field, so you can save your forms without manually entering a value.
Problem Statement:
Many OpenCart users rely on SEO extensions to handle meta title generation automatically. However, OpenCart prevents saving a product, category, manufacturer, or information page without filling in the Meta Title field. This creates unnecessary work and may lead to errors when managing large catalogs.
Purpose of the Extension:
This extension is specifically designed for OpenCart store owners using SEO extensions that generate meta titles dynamically. It ensures that users can save product and category pages without the unnecessary restriction of a required meta title field.
Features:
- Disables the required Meta Title field in product, category, information, and manufacturer pages.
- Ensures seamless integration with SEO extensions that generate meta titles automatically.
- Helps save time and effort when adding or updating multiple products or categories.
- No core file modifications – implemented via VQMOD or OCMOD for easy installation.
- Available in two versions: VQMOD and OCMOD to suit different OpenCart setups.
How to Use:
- Install the extension (choose either VQMOD or OCMOD version based on your setup).
- The Meta Title field will no longer be mandatory in the product, category, manufacturer, and information pages.
- If your SEO extension auto-generates meta titles, they will still be applied as expected.
Installation Guide
VQMOD Version
- Extract the contents inside the upload folder to your OpenCart root directory.

vqmod/xml/folder.
OCMOD Version
- In your OpenCart admin panel, go to Extensions > Extension Installer.

.ocmod.xmlfile included in the extension package. - Navigate to Extensions > Modifications and click Refresh to apply changes.

Expected Results:
- Ability to save products, categories, manufacturers, and information pages without filling in the Meta Title field.
