  • Supports meta tags including the name, property, http-equiv, charset and itemprop attributes.
  • Choose from predefined types, such as ‘name=”keyword”‘ or create your own by typing it in.
  • Add meta tags to specific posts, choose what Custom Post Types to support from our settings page.
  • Add global meta tags that will display on specific CPTs, Taxonomies, your front page or your whole site.
  • Automatically add Open Graph details to your home page.
  • Automatically add Schema and Structured Data to your home page.
  • Add Google Sitelinks and Sitelinks Search markup.
  • Easily add verification codes for services like Facebook, Google Webmaster Tools, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex and more (or… create your own custom meta tags!).

Use cases include:

  • Adding Google and Yahoo site verification tags
  • Adding additional open graph, twitter card or other social media meta info not supported by other SEO/Meta plugins

Go Pro for many newly added features, including:

  • Dynamic placeholders to include data about the page being displayed, such as page title, comment count, thumbnail URLs and more!
  • Additional contexts to add global meta tags, as well as exclusion rules for finer-grained controls.

Questions the author answers

OK, I’ve installed the plugin, how and where do I start adding meta tags?

You can manage your meta tags in two areas of your WordPress dashboard.

  • Within Settings > Meta Tag Manager.

The general settings page is where you can add tags that appear on various areas of your site, such as your front page, archive pages, category/taxonomy pages, etc. Each tag you create can be assigned to a specific are of the site.

  • On specific post type pages.
I don’t see the Meta Tag Manager meta box when editing a page on my site

This may be because your editing a CPT and it’s not selected within our settings page for Meta Tag Management. See next question for more information.

How do I enable/disable Meta Tag Manager for specific Custom Post Types (CPTs)?

By default (since 2.1) all custom post types are enabled, previous versions only had posts/pages enabled. If you install a plugin that introduces a new CPT, that also needs to be added, as it is not added automatically.

I’m stuck, or have a suggestion.

Please visit our support forums if you have any questions.

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
