  • Hi,

    I can recommend you https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/addfunc-head-footer-code/
    It’s lightweight, stable, works well for this purpose.

    You will have trouble setting cookies in header.php, the latest one can realistically set cookies is when the “send_headers” action fires.

    You can set meta tags from the “wp_head” action.

    Remove the 4th parm in add_action() (the 2) and both of your callback function’s parms $name,$value

    wp_head does not pass any parms. If you need $name declare it global. Yeah, globals are sneered at, but it’s the easiest option here.

    Hi there,

    When you add an action to a hook like wp_head, the arguments that are passed to that function are not specified by you – they are part of the wp_head action. Therefore, you’ll need to evaluate $name and $value in some other way (for example, from custom post meta or programmatically)

    Something like this:

    function mySEOFunction(){
   $page = get_queried_object(); // assume we are on a page, or use conditionals to check
   if ($page->ID == 234){
    echo "<meta name='whatever' value='{$page->post_title}'/>";
   }
}
