Head Meta Data (HMD) improves the definition and semantic quality of your web pages by adding a custom set of <code><meta></code> tags to the <code><head></code> section of your web pages.
Basic Example
Display any set of custom meta tags for your site:
<pre><code><head>

 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <meta name="abstract" content="Obsessive Web Development">
 <meta name="author" content="Perishable">
 <meta name="classification" content="Website Design">
 <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright Perishable Press - All rights Reserved.">
 <meta name="designer" content="Monzilla Media">
 <meta name="language" content="EN-US">
 <meta name="publisher" content="Perishable Press">
 <meta name="rating" content="General">
 <meta name="resource-type" content="Document">
 <meta name="revisit-after" content="3">
 <meta name="subject" content="WordPress, Web Design, Code & Tutorials">
 <meta name="template" content="Awesome Theme">
 <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

 

</head>
</code></pre>
SEO Example
Use shortcodes to dynamically output SEO meta tags:
<pre><code><title>[hmd_post_title] | Your Awesome Website</title>
<meta name="description" content="[hmd_post_excerpt]">
</code></pre>
This outputs dynamic titles and descriptions, useful for SEO. You also can add custom meta tags and markup on specific posts and pages. Check out <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/head-meta-data/#installation" rel="ugc">Installation</a> for more infos.

Shortcodes
Shortcodes enable you to include dynamic bits of information in your meta tags. Head Meta Data currently provides the following shortcodes:
<ul>
<li><code>[hmd_post_excerpt]</code> — post excerpt</li>
<li><code>[hmd_post_date]</code> — post date</li>
<li><code>[hmd_post_author]</code> — post author name</li>
<li><code>[hmd_post_title]</code> — post title</li>
<li><code>[hmd_post_cats]</code> — post categories</li>
<li><code>[hmd_post_tags]</code> — post tags</li>
<li><code>[hmd_year]</code> — current year</li>
<li><code>[hmd_tab]</code> — adds tab space to markup</li>
</ul>
So you can display your own set of customized meta tags exactly as desired. See the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/head-meta-data/#installation" rel="ugc">Installation section</a> for more information about the HMD shortcodes!

More Info
Head Meta Data is designed to complete a site’s head construct by including some of the more obscure meta tags, such as “author”, “copyright”, “designer”, and so forth. As a matter of practicality, the more widely used tags such as “description” and “keywords” have been omitted, as they are already included via wide variety of plugins (such as “All in One SEO”) in a more dynamic way. Even so, adding “description”, “keyword”, or any other tags is easy from the plugin’s settings page.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. Thus, this plugin does not affect user privacy in any way.

No External Links converts external links to internal links. Featuring Full Page or Targeted Content Filtering, Custom Redirect Page/Message, Encoded Masks, External Link Click Logging, Individual Link Exclusion, Post/Page Specific Exclusion, and many more…
<h4>Example</h4>
Links like “https://wordpress.org” will be masked into 
“http://www.example.com/goto/https://wordpress.org“.
<h4>Warning</h4>
No External Links may conflict with cache plugins. 
Usually adding the redirect page to the caching plugin exclusions works fine, but there are no guarantees. 
Create a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mihdan-no-external-links" rel="ugc">support topic</a> if you need assistance resolving a caching issue. 
Please provide as much detail as possible, for example, what version of WordPress & PHP you are using. Which caching plugin you are using. The more information you include the better.
<h4>Details</h4>
No External Links is designed for specialists who sell different kinds of advertisements on their web site and care about the number of outgoing links that can be found by search engines. Now you can make all external links internal.
<h4>How To Use</h4>
Just do everything like you would normally, and as long as the plugin is active, external links will be automatically masked.
<h4>Recommended Settings</h4>
The default settings that are used on a fresh install of the plugin are what we recommend.
<h4>Support</h4>
Need help with anything? Please create a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mihdan-no-external-links" rel="ugc">support topic</a>. 
Please provide as much detail as possible, for example, what version of WordPress & PHP you are using. Examples of links that do not work. If you are using a caching plugin, please specify which one. The more information you include the better.
<h4>Feature Request</h4>
Want a feature added to this plugin? Create a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mihdan-no-external-links" rel="ugc">support topic</a>. 
We are always looking to add features to improve our plugin.
<h4>Localization</h4>
We apologize that the latest version has changed so much that existing localizations no longer work. 
If you would like to contribute to the translations please get in touch.
<h4>Note</h4>
No External Links does not make any changes to your database, it just processes the output. So you will not see these changes within the WYSIWYG editor.

No External Links

Convert external links into internal links, site wide or post/page specific. Add NoFollow, Click logging, and more...
