Advanced meta tag control for WordPress
Head Meta Pro is a paid edition of Head Meta Data for managing the tags added to the section of your WordPress pages. It is designed for site owners who need more control than a single set of site-wide defaults can provide. Along with the core tools for customizing tags, the Pro edition adds controls for custom post types, individual page views, social sharing markup, and post-level settings.
The plugin uses a lightweight, standards-based approach and provides a live preview for meta tags and custom tags. You can customize supported tags, add your own, disable unwanted tags, and use dynamic information instead of entering every value manually.
Set tags for different page views
Head Meta Pro lets you define meta tags for specific types of page views, including the home page, posts, pages, archives, and search pages. This helps you create more relevant metadata for different areas of a site rather than applying one configuration everywhere.
Support for custom post types extends the same control to additional content structures. A dedicated Meta Tags meta box for posts and pages also lets you add custom meta tags to individual content items or page views when a particular page needs settings that differ from broader defaults.
Dynamic values and advanced variables
Dynamic shortcodes can insert information such as a post title, excerpt, date, author, categories, tags, site title, site tagline, or current year into your metadata. The Pro edition also includes more than 40 advanced shortcut variables, including variables such as %POST_AUTHOR% and %ARCHIVE_TYPE%.
These tools are useful when you want metadata to follow your content automatically while retaining the option to define custom values. A live preview helps you review meta tags and custom tags before using them on your site.
Social markup and page-level additions
Head Meta Pro provides dedicated controls for Facebook Open Graph and X (Twitter) tags. You can define these tags globally and for each supported page-view type. This gives you a focused way to manage the metadata used when content is shared on social platforms.
The Pro edition also supports additional meta tags beyond the free version, including a dedicated setting for the image_src link tag. You can add custom scripts and styles to any post or page-view, and the Meta Tags box integrates with SEO plugins.
