🤖 Shortcodes
Shortcodes enable you to include dynamic bits of information in your meta tags. Head Meta Data provides the following shortcodes:
Single post views
[hmd_post_excerpt] Outputs post excerpt

You can include any of these shortcodes in the “Custom Tags” setting, and the displayed information will reflect the current post being viewed. On non-single page views, like the homepage, archives, and search results, the shortcodes display general information:
Non-single views
[hmd_post_excerpt] Outputs site description
[hmd_post_date] Outputs date of latest post
[hmd_post_author] Outputs site name
[hmd_post_title] Outputs site description

✨ Note: Many more shortcut variables available in the Pro version »
You can add custom tags via the “Custom Tags” setting, for example:
<meta name="date" content="[hmd_post_date]">
<meta name="abstract" content="[hmd_post_title]">
<meta name="author" content="[hmd_post_author]">
<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright [hmd_year] Awesome Website">
Another example using shortcodes to output meta tags dynamically:
<title>[hmd_post_title] | My Awesome Website</title>
<meta name="description" content="[hmd_post_excerpt]">
That will output dynamic titles and descriptions according to the current post or page view. Very useful for SEO and helping bots to understand your content better.

🤖 Custom Meta Tags
To add custom meta tags to the <head> section of any specific post or page:
- Visit the “Edit Post” or “Edit Page” screen
- Open the “Custom Fields” meta box
- Add a new custom field
- For the custom field Name, enter
head-meta-data - For the custom field Value, enter desired tag/markup
- Save changes and done.
You can add as many custom meta tags as desired, no limits.
For example, we could add the following custom <link> tag to any post:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/android.png" sizes="192x192">
After saving changes that exact code will be included in the post’s <head> section.
You can also use shortcodes in custom meta tags, for example:
<meta name="description" content="[hmd_post_excerpt]">
That will output the post excerpt on single post views, and the site description on archive and home views.
Tip: You can include tab spaces in the custom field value, for example:
<meta name="description" content="[hmd_post_excerpt]">
Useful for indenting code to align with other meta tags 😉
Tip: By default, any custom tags are displayed after the default meta tags.
Tip: To disable all of the default meta tags on any post, add a new custom field with the name hmd_disable_default. Give it a value of 1. Save changes and done.
✨ Note: The Pro version provides a Meta Tags Box for adding tags to posts and pages
