Front page custom title not working

You are right. The template tags do not work at all. They were completely untested.

I’m scheduling to get them fixed for the next release.

Thanks for your valuable feedback and sorry for any inconvenience.

George

amt_content_description();
amt_content_keywords();

Please note that these two correctly return nothing where ever a $post object is not available (not the global $post but the one returned by get_queried_object()).

I performed the test with the template tags on a theme I did not use! Sorry, must be tired or something…

The template tags, although untested, they appear to work correctly.

Please note that the use of the template tags is for cases where the wp_head and wp_footer actions hooks are not used in the theme.

You still need to enable the the metatag generation in the admin panel for the template tags to work.

You are right. The template tags do not work at all. They were completely untested.

Yes, I used the tags. But the problem looks the same if the plugin does the insertion with the wp_head-action.
=============================================
function amt_add_metadata_head() {
print “1 “;
echo PHP_EOL . implode(PHP_EOL, amt_get_metadata_head()) . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
print “2 “;
}
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘amt_add_metadata_head’, 0);
============================================

results on my frontpage in:
============================================
1

2
============================================

If I change your code by adding an is_home() (as said above) it works:

============================================
1
<!– BEGIN Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin –>
<meta name=”description” content=”FRONMT APGE DESCIRTPTION” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”fronten dpage keyworfdss” />
<!– END Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin –>

2
============================================

So what is the recommended way to use it?

I’ll investigate this again tomorrow. Sorry, no free time at the moment.

We are always talking about the default front page that displays the latest posts, right?

The problem is I am not able to reproduce this. The metatags are generated on the ‘latest posts’ page without the is_home workaround.

Please make sure the settings are enabled in the admin panel.

The recommended way to use is using the theme’s wp_head action hook.

Also could you reproduce the problem on a clean WordPress installation?

Which settings to i need to enable? I’m running with the default settings of the plugin.

Settings->Metadata: Enable the automatic generation of the metadata (keywords, description, opengraph, etc.

Also, try with a theme that ships with wordpress.

If you changed the code of the plugin, please reinstall.

Please provide detailed information about what you did so I can try to reproduce it.

I’ve changed to twenty-eleven and added

var_dump( get_queried_object() );

at the beginning of my header.php. The output ist

null

so your $post would be null and the thing cannot work.

I’ll try another wordpress on another server now! ??

That’s the expected behavior

The fact that get_queried_object() returns null should not be a problem. The plugin should be able to handle it.

Does it work with the twentyeleven without touching the code? Don’t bother with get_queried_object().

I’ve used a clean wordpress now: Latest version 3.7.1 and latest version of Twenty Thirteen. If I add

var_dump( get_queried_object() );

to the beginning of header.php and turn the starting-page to “last posts”, the output ist null. This is the problem as your plugin does not have post-objekt.

If I set the starting-Page to a certain fix page, the data of the post is printed.

This is not a problem. The plugin can handle it. Do the metatags get generated? Please provide clean answers to my question so I can understand what problem we deal with.
