On non-single page views, like the homepage, archives, and search results, the shortcodes display general information:<\/p>\n\n
Non-single views\n\n[hmd_post_excerpt] Outputs site description\n[hmd_post_date] Outputs date of latest post\n[hmd_post_author] Outputs site name\n[hmd_post_title] Outputs site description\n[hmd_post_cats] Outputs all view categories\n[hmd_post_tags] Outputs all view tags\n[hmd_site_tagline] Outputs site tagline\n[hmd_site_title] Outputs site title\n[hmd_year] Outputs current year\n[hmd_tab] Outputs tab space to tag markup\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\u2728 Note:<\/strong> Many more shortcut variables<\/a> available in the Pro version »<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\ud83e\udd16 Custom Meta Tags<\/h3>\n\n
To add custom meta tags to the <head> section of any specific post or page:<\/p>\n\n
\n
- Visit the \"Edit Post\" or \"Edit Page\" screen<\/li>\n
- Open the \"Custom Fields\" meta box<\/li>\n
- Add a new custom field<\/li>\n
- For the custom field Name, enter
head-meta-data<\/code><\/li>\n- For the custom field Value, enter desired tag\/markup<\/li>\n
- Save changes and done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
You can add as many custom meta tags as desired, no limits.<\/p>\n\n
For example, we could add the following custom
<link><\/code> tag to any post:<\/p>\n\n<link rel=\"icon\" type=\"image\/png\" href=\"\/android.png\" sizes=\"192x192\">\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nAfter saving changes that exact code will be included in the post's
<head><\/code> section.<\/p>\n\nYou can also use shortcodes in custom meta tags, for example:<\/p>\n\n
<meta name=\"description\" content=\"[hmd_post_excerpt]\">\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nThat will output the post excerpt on single post views, and the site description on archive and home views.<\/p>\n\n
Tip:<\/strong> You can include tab spaces in the custom field value, for example:<\/p>\n\n
<meta name=\"description\" content=\"[hmd_post_excerpt]\">\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nUseful for indenting code to align with other meta tags ;)<\/p>\n\n
Tip:<\/strong> By default, any custom tags are displayed after<\/em> the default meta tags.<\/p>\n\n
Tip:<\/strong> To disable all of the default meta tags on any post, add a new custom field with the name
hmd_disable_default<\/code>. Give it a value of1<\/code>. Save changes and done.<\/p>\n\n\n\u2728 Note:<\/strong> The Pro version<\/a> provides a Meta Tags Box<\/a> for adding tags to posts and pages<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
