<p><strong>Oriole One Custom Fields</strong> is a focused, lightweight SEO plugin for WordPress. It lets you add a custom meta title on posts, pages, and public custom post types, and automatically generates and injects a <code><meta name="description"></code> tag into your post <code><head></code> using the post excerpt as the primary source, with intelligent fallback generation from content.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Add an optional custom <strong>Meta Title</strong> on any supported edit screen. When set, it overrides the front-end document title for that singular post, page, or custom post type.</li>
<li>If a post has a manually written excerpt, that excerpt is used as the meta description (HTML stripped, whitespace normalised, trimmed to about 155 characters).</li>
<li>If no excerpt exists, the plugin auto-generates a description from content by stripping shortcodes, HTML, and excessive whitespace, then trimming intelligently to avoid breaking mid-word.</li>
<li>If no title or description content is available, the plugin leaves the normal WordPress output alone.</li>
</ol>
