EffortLess Custom Meta Tags prints meta tags in the <head> of every front-end page, from the settings in Settings > Meta Tags. On a multisite network, a super admin can also set defaults for every site in Network Admin > Settings > Meta Tags.
Settings of each site (Settings > Meta Tags):
- Description : printed as <meta name="description"> on every page. A post or page with a manual excerpt uses its excerpt instead, when “Posts and pages” is ticked.
- Posts and pages (ticked by default): a post or page shown on its own uses its own title, address ( og:url ), manual excerpt and featured image in the Open Graph and X tags, and the settings are used for the home page and as the fallback. Unticked, every page prints the same values from the settings.
- Open Graph tags (off by default): prints og:type ( article for posts, website otherwise), og:site_name , og:locale (the site’s language), og:title , og:description , og:url , og:image with og:image:width , og:image:height and og:image:alt , and the publication and modification times of posts. Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and others read these tags. Title : empty uses the site title.
- Description : empty uses the Description above.
- Image : click “Choose or upload an image” to pick an image from the Media Library or upload one, or type an image address. The size and the alternative text come from the Media Library. 1200 × 630 pixels works on most networks.
- Home page address : the og:url of the home page.
- Image alternative text : describes the shared image in the site’s language; empty uses the image’s alternative text from the Media Library. A post’s own featured image keeps its own alternative text.
- Site name : empty uses the site title.
X tags (off by default): prints twitter:card , twitter:site , twitter:title , twitter:description , twitter:image and twitter:image:alt .
- Card type : large image ( summary_large_image , the default) or small square image ( summary ).
- X account : your @username; a profile address is also accepted.
