By far, this is the most user-friendly tutorial on this subject! Literally, I have spent the past five hours reading everything I can on inserting keywords and descriptions into the head of my site. Half of the commentary out there I can't understand and the other half hasn't worked! I created the custom fields and would like to insert this code as you instructed above. Where exactly in functions.php should this be inserted? Thank you for your help. Hi. By far, this is the most user-friendly tutorial on this subject!

I've been banging my head against my desk trying to figure out how I can add this data for each page. Since wordpress doesn't function like a typical site, it was hard to wrap my head around. Now my life is way easier. Thanks for posting this info! Wow this was SUPER helpful. I’ve been banging my head against my desk trying to figure out how I can add this data for each page.

Thanks for reading the post. You didn't give very much information as to the details of the problem, so I'll throw out a couple thoughts. I have this code running on a number of blogs, personal and client, and it works great. You say "not showing in my post". That's because this is for Meta Keywords that are added to the the HTML header section of the page used for search engines and web crawlers. SEO rules recommend using unique meta keywords that are specific to the content of each page for best results. They will not be visible "in your post". You need to check the "head" section/tag in the source of a rendered page to see the output. Example: head meta name="keywords" content="SEO, keywords, HTML" / /head <strong>Note</strong>: html <> brackets removed. Wordpress kills HTML code in comments. If you are referring to the source and the meta keyword tags are not being added to the html head, then make sure the theme you are using calls the wp_head action. As noted above in the post, not all theme developers include this in their custom themes. My code depends on and is injected into the wp_head action so if wp_head is not being called in your theme, my code will not work. Hi Zia.
