MetaMax

MetaMax is meant to be a lightweight and super simple replacement for Yoast SEO. He does not have the advanced GUI or content analysis that Yoast SEO offers, but instead focuses on good standards and less noise — all ready to go in one click. MetaMax is also more performant than Yoast SEO, and will not have the same impact on your pageload. But of course you always cache your site anyways, right? Made with passion by Appex!

Filters

Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_TITLE
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_DESCRIPTION
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_DESCRIPTION
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_LOCALE
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_SITE_NAME
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_URL
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_VIDEO
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_TYPE

Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_PROFILE_LAST_NAME
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_TWITTER_CARD
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_FB_APP_ID

The filters above will expect a string in return

Example

if ( class_exists( 'Appex_Metamax' ) ) {

    add_filter( Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_TITLE, function( $content ) {

        // Override title if not on home page
        if( !is_home() ) {

            $content = 'My new fancy title';

        }

        return $content;

    });

}

Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_IMAGE
Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_DEFAULT_OG_IMAGE

The image filters will expect an array of arrays with url, width and height in the following format: array(array(url, width, height));

Example

// Default image fallback filter
if ( class_exists( 'Appex_Metamax' ) ) {

    add_filter( Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_DEFAULT_OG_IMAGE, function( $images ) {

        $images[] = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'large' );

        return $images;

    });

}

// Add images
if ( class_exists( 'Appex_Metamax' ) ) {

    add_filter( Appex_Metamax::FILTER_META_OG_IMAGE, function( $images ) {

        $images[] = array(
                        'http://example.com/images/waycoolimage.jpg', 
                        1200, 
                        800 
                    );

        if( is_archive() ) {

            $images[] = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'large' );

        }

        return $images;

    });

}

For most use cases the MetaMax defaults will be sufficient, but if, for some insane reason, MetaMax is unable to generate the desired output on one or more meta tags, you can always hook on to his filters and tell him how he should handle your content. If you do, he will blindly follow your instructions even if it sets your server RAM on fire. Good luck!

Does MetaMax support WooCommerce?

We don’t know. He certainly does if you tell him how to handle WooCommerce content in his filters.

Does MetaMax support multisite?

Again, we don’t know. Maybe you could try it out and give us some feedback? 🙂
