Meta for custom categories

Hello Bevrob,

Currently, Add-Meta-Tags does not support custom taxonomies. However, this is a planned feature and will be added in future releases.

In the meantime, please read about the available filters and the examples in the description page of the plugin to see if it is possible to add such metadata manually through filtering functions without editing the source code of the plugin.

I cannot think of any other workaround at the moment.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks George,

I will have a look at the available filters as you suggest.
Alternatively I could enter a page name for all the products_categories
and enter the meta description manually which would work but take a bit longer. Google indexing really likes your Meta tags,

Many Thanks Bevan

I had the same problem. I am using Add-Meta-Tags as well as The Events Calendar on my site. I wanted AMT to add “NOINDEX, FOLLOW” robots meta data to events categories as well as normal blog categories.

I came up with the following solution: in the function amt_get_metadata_head() in add-meta-tags.php, add the is_tax line in the following section of code:

( is_search() && ($options["noindex_search_results"] == "1") )  ||          // Search results
            ( is_date() && ($options["noindex_date_archives"] == "1") )  ||             // Date and time archives
            ( is_category() && is_paged() && ($options["noindex_category_archives"] == "1") )  ||     // Category archives (except 1st page)
            ( is_tax('tribe_events_cat') && ($options["noindex_category_archives"] == "1") )  ||      // Hopefully cope with event category archives
            ( is_tag() && is_paged() && ($options["noindex_tag_archives"] == "1") )  ||               // Tag archives (except 1st page)
            ( is_author() && is_paged() && ($options["noindex_author_archives"] == "1") )             // Author archives (except 1st page)

I realise that this will get overwritten if I update the plugin but for now it works for me. What AMT really needs is somewhere in the control panel where you can list the names of your custom categories so it automatically includes them as well.

Hope that helps somehow.

Cheers,

John.

Support for the description and keywords meta tags for custom taxonomy archives has been added to the 2.5.0 version which will be out soon.
