I have no meta keywords added for my main page (in my signature below)....where in my wp-admin do I navigate to add them? I found this out after checking, using my Chrome SEO toolbar. Can I add say, several keywords or what is maximum?
Meta keywords are all but ignored by the search engines, so don't worry about it too much. You can't get at them through the WP interface - at least not without using an SEO plugin (AIO, Yoast, etc.). The alternative is to edit the theme's header.php and add them there, but it's kinda messy!
Although it isn't a priority, I'll still give it a go TIEro. I do have the Yoast plugin installed....do I actually go to a special area within? I appreciate your advice......
I don't use any SEO plugins, so I did a quick search. Turns out Yoast doesn't have an option for it: https://yoast.com/focus-keyword/ And there's a post about why not, here: https://yoast.com/meta-keywords/ I guess that means you'll have to edit your header if you *really* want them.
thanks for this insight....if the engines all but ignore them, I'll do the same. I appreciate your help!
Hi, if you're using Yoast SEO for WP then you have all meta options available on yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles There you can see tabs, one for homepage (you can enter some static text since it will be only for homepage), and for other pages/post types there is tab "Post Types" where you can change title etc and enter meta description for them...i usually use "%%excerpt%%" macro in "Meta description template" (this is on "Post Types" tab).
Thanks msx. Instead of doing that in Yoast plugin, can I access this in my dashboard? If so, where? Appearance>Editor and? I appreciate this! (I mean, to add keyword meta tags manually)
Put a <meta keywords="..."> tag anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags in your header. They will be site-wide, rather than per-post/page, of course (since they'll be in the header). To do post-specific ones would require coding (or a plugin that does it).
Great! I would navigate in my dashboard to APPEARANCE>EDITOR>header.php I believe? I have accessed this before when I lofg into my wp-admin and added a meta tag to verify my site with Pinterest.
