Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Page Meta

The field names used are _pagemeta_title, _pagemeta_description and _pagemeta_keywords. The underscore prefix prevents it from being displayed in the list of custom fields.

If a custom title is set for a post type, the plugin will automatically hook into the wp_title function to modify the output. This uses the parameters passed via wp_title and will completely override the title. You can customise the output further using the pagemeta_title filter, which uses the same parameters plus the original post title value. In this example we prefix the original title to the custom title. add_filter( 'pagemeta_title', function( $title, $sep, $seplocation, $original_title ) { return $original_title . $title; }, 10, 4 ); Please refer to the Codex for further information on the add_filter.

This plugin makes use of the wp_head hook action, therefore in order for it to work there must be a call to wp_head in the current theme header file. More information on this can be found in the WordPress Codex.

Yes, as of version 1.5 you can modify which fields are used using the pagemeta_fields filter: add_filter( 'pagemeta_fields', function( $fields ) { $fields['author'] = 'Author'; // Add a new field. unset( $fields['keywords'] ); // Remove a default field. return $fields; } ); The default fields are 'title', 'description' and 'keywords'.

The page meta values can be output within posts using the [postmeta] shortcode. Passing through a name attribute will determine which value is returned, for example to output the description value use the following. [postmeta name="description"] Name values are determined by the fields set, by default these are 'title', 'description' and 'keywords'. To output meta values in template files, you can make use of the_pagemeta function. <?php if ( function_exists( 'the_pagemeta' ) ) { the_pagemeta( 'description' ); } ?> This will output the value, in order to return the value or lookup a specific post ID you can use get_the_pagemeta. <?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_pagemeta' ) ) { $description = get_the_pagemeta( 'description' ); } ?> <?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_pagemeta' ) ) { $description = get_the_pagemeta( 'description', // Page meta value name 123 // Post ID to lookup ); } ?> Not that these functions will return the raw values prior to any output manipulation.
