Official Information & Download for the Head MetaData Plus WordPress Plugin

The Head MetaData Plus plugin is designed to complete a site’s head construct by including some of the more obscure <meta> tags, such as “author” and “copyright.” As a matter of practicality, the more widely used tags such as “description” and “keywords” have been omitted, as they are already present at most WP-powered sites. The metadata output via this plugin applies to the entire site.

Installation: Upload the “head-metadata-plus.php” file to your WordPress Plugins directory, activate via WP Admin, and enjoy.

Customization: Open the “head-metadata-plus.php” file and edit any of the meta tag attributes located in the “variables” section.

Adding/Removing Meta tags: Removing unwanted tags is easy. Just comment-out or delete the variable line AND its corresponding line in the echo function. Adding new tags involves emulating the existing pattern and adding a new variable and corresponding echo.

Please use the Press Contact Form for any questions, comments, criticisms, etc.

    First, thanks for you hard work on this plugin. I have a question though. Do we have to remove the empty meta tag for Keyword and Description. I still seee them there.

    and the new keyword and description tag.

    thanks.

    Hi Jenny,
    I am glad you find the plugin useful. If you are using another plugin that generates meta tags, and you are finding multiple instances of, say, the meta description tag, simply open the plugin file, find the meta tag in question, and delete the line entirely. If, on the other hand, you are seeing duplicate tags that are not from another plugin, check the header.php file from your current theme’s template. There, you should see the various meta elements it is displaying. Find the ones that are being duplicated and delete them. I hope this is clear. You are correct in that only one set of meta tags should be displayed for any given page. Duplicates (or empty tags) will invalidate the page. I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you would like further assistance.
    Regards,
    Jeff
