About WTMLab-Meta
From the official readme · v1.0Description
WTMLab-Meta is a universal custom meta tags plugin developed by WTM Lab that gives you complete control over your website’s metadata. With WTMLab-Meta you can easily manage and customize meta tags, meta robots on all pages of your website—including posts, pages, taxonomy term pages (categories, tags, etc.), author pages, and archives.
Key Features:
* Dynamic Title Management:
Override the default title with a custom meta title if provided. If left empty, the plugin automatically falls back to the default post/page (or term/author/archive) title.
* Automatic Meta Description Fallback:
If you don’t supply a meta description, the plugin uses your post excerpt or a trimmed version of your content.
* Social Sharing Integration:
Automatically generate Open Graph and Twitter Card tags using your custom values. If not provided, they default to your meta description and featured image.
* Canonical URL & Meta Robots ags:
Specify a custom canonical URL (or let the plugin default to your post permalink) and set robots directives (noindex, nofollow) to help prevent duplicate content issues.
* Custom Head Code Insertion:
Easily insert any additional code (such as Google Analytics tracking code or meta verification tags) directly into the <head> section.
* Universal Support:
Custom meta fields are available for posts/pages, taxonomy terms (categories, tags, and other custom taxonomies), author pages (via user meta), and archive pages (via an options page).
All meta tags are output early in the head section (hooked at priority 1) to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with other meta elements like the viewport tag.
Installation
- Upload the
WTMLab-Metafolder to your/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the WordPress Admin > Plugins screen.
- For posts and pages, a meta box titled “Custom Meta Tags” will appear in the editor. Enter your custom meta title, description, Open Graph/Twitter values, canonical URL, robots settings, and any custom head code.
- For taxonomy terms (categories, tags, etc.), custom meta fields are added to the add/edit term forms.
- For author pages, additional meta fields appear in the user profile.
- For archive pages, go to Settings → Archive Meta Tags to set your default meta values.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to modify my theme files?
WTMLab-Meta works with any theme that supports add_theme_support( 'title-tag' ) and does not hard‑code its own tag. If your theme hard-codes meta tags, you may need to adjust it.
What happens if I leave a field empty?
The plugin automatically uses fallback values. For example, if you don’t provide a meta description, it will use your post excerpt (or a trimmed version of your content). Similarly, OG and Twitter descriptions and images will default to the meta description and featured image, respectively.
Can I add custom JavaScript or verification meta tags?
Yes. Simply paste your code into the “Custom Head Code” field and it will be output in the section exactly as you enter it.
Does the plugin support taxonomy and author pages?
Absolutely. In addition to posts and pages, custom meta fields are available for categories, tags, custom taxonomies, author pages, and archive pages via a dedicated options page.
