Define tags and choose where they apply

Meta Tag Manager Pro lets you create custom meta tags for WordPress pages and site areas. Choose a predefined tag type or enter a custom one. Tags can use the name, property, http-equiv, charset, and itemprop attributes.

For tag values that depend on the displayed page, use dynamic placeholders such as its title, comment count, or thumbnail URL. Shortcodes in meta descriptions can insert dynamic data from plugins such as ACF.

Set tags for global contexts, content, or taxonomy terms

Assign global tags to contexts such as the front page, archives, category or other taxonomy pages, selected custom post types, or the whole site. Exclusion rules let you refine where those global tags appear.

For an individual post, page, or enabled custom post type, add tags in the Meta Tag Manager meta box while editing that item. Taxonomy support lets you define tags for a specific term page, such as a category or tag archive.

When multiple rules could make the same Meta Tag Manager tag on a page, hierarchical precedence helps prevent duplicate output.

Set up and use the controls

1. Install and activate Meta Tag Manager Pro in WordPress.
2. Open Settings > Meta Tag Manager to pick the custom post types that should have editing controls and configure global tags.
3. Edit a post, page, or enabled custom post type to add entry-specific tags in its Meta Tag Manager meta box. If the box is missing, check whether that post type is enabled in the general settings.
4. Use placeholders for page-specific values and shortcodes in meta descriptions when their output should supply dynamic data.
5. Apply global contexts, exclusions, and taxonomy rules to control where tags appear, then review overlapping definitions through hierarchical duplicate detection.
