Does this for each product in the product db. WHY? Good question. Maybe storebuilder also makes a bunch of static product pages - one for each product - in the hopes that at least some of them might get indexed by one or more Search engine so that will drive traffic/attention to the store via a specific product page.. Never looked at storebuilder so this is just a guess.> > Can this code be used with WC3?why not? no 4 specific tags here... just depends on whether or not the paths are valid.> > How will meta tags such as
