Magento meta keywords tag not showing – SEO

Below line of code is present in my template’s head.phtml

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->getKeywords()) ?>" />

But when I view source of page the meta keywords tag is missing. Somehow Magento is removing the entire tag.

Can you please tell me how to fix it?

    This was happening due to Creare SEO extension.

    Did you refresh the Magento cache? 

    System --> Cache Management

    Maybe also clear your browser cache.

    If this doesn’t work, try adding a dummy meta tag:

    Then refresh the cache again:

    System --> Cache Management

    Let me know if this works for you.

    did you edit the code in your template folder or the core base? you have to edit the default head.phtml in

    app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html

    and if this is where you changed it, make sure you save your old version in-case you need to revert back, in this case i usually just add () around the file name so i know its the previous version. Now try the following new version. the code should be the following:

    Once you have reverted, log in to your admin panel, navigate to system/configuration/design scroll down and enter your keywords into the field. Separate each with a comma. Sign out of admin. Clear the browser cache, and sign back in.

    As @tahir-yasin mention this is due to Creare SEO, but you don’t need to uninstall this extension. Go to your Settings>Configuration>
    In CREARE SEO find General Settings and change ”
    Disable Meta Keywords Tag and Empty Meta Description Tags?” to “No” your problem will be solved..
