Minimum Viable Sharing Meta

Just the minimum required meta tags to work.

The source / inspiration for this plugin came from this blog post written by Stoyan Stefanov

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload minimum-viable-sharing-meta to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Navigate to the “Sharing Meta Tags” menu item underneath the “Appearance” main tab and set your defaults.
4. Set any individual posts or pages.

What’s this all about?

Meta tags are a pain. And there are a lot of them. So this plugins boils it down to just the minimum tags required to “work”.

How do I use this?

See the installation instructions.

Is this really all of them?

Yes, really.

I would suggest reading this blog post written by Stoyan Stefanov if you’re curious.

Can I customize it?

Yeah. There are filters and whatnot that I’ll eventually get around to documenting.
