Overview:
What is a Meta Tag: In HTML, meta tags or meta elements are tags placed in the head section of your code that help define the contents of a web page. For example, a description meta tag is used by Internet search engines to display a description of your page in their search results
As a result this area is used to enter them for the website.
This area allows customization of the sites meta-tags. The content type (<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
) and the viewport (<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
) tags are already included and do not have to be added. The two tags that are important; the Title tag and the Description tag WILL need to be created for the site and any pages created for the site.
Click Manage Meta tags to access the Manage Site Meta Tags area.
All of the sites custom meta tags are shown in the table.
To add a new Meta Tag, click the “New” button. The New Meta tag Form will be shown:
Page is required. If the Meta tag is for the entire site (global) enter ‘*’ If the tag is for a specific page, enter the name of that page (or index level name) IE: ‘Parts’ will render that meta tag with the parts index page.
Meta Name is required. This will render for the <meta name= part of the meta tag. Typically there are specific names for the tag. W3C has good guidelines for this. Some common names may be ‘title’, ‘description’, and ‘keywords’.
Content is required. This will render for the content= part of the meta tag.
Click the “Create” button to add the tag to the site, or click the “x” or esc to clear and close the form and cancel adding the tag.
Editing a tag is done in the table. Click the field to be changed:
All of the property fields are editable. Either clicking another field, or tab again to move to the next property field will save the changes to the currently highlighted field. Click ESC to cancel change.
Select the tag by clicking the box to the left of the tag area. Multiple tags can be selected by holding CTRL and clicking the additional rows checkbox.
After rows are selected, click the “Delete” button. The confirmation will show:
Click delete to confirm deletion or click the “x” (or ESC) to cancel deletion.
