Custom Fields to Meta Tags

Description

Custom Fields to Meta Tags lets you leverage WordPress custom fields to generate <meta> tags in your site’s <head> section.

Simply add a custom field to your post or page with a key that starts with cfmt, and the plugin will automatically turn it into a meta tag.

Example:
– Custom field key: cfmtdescription
– Custom field value: Description of the post/page
– Output in <head>:

Key Features

  • Lightweight, zero-configuration – just activate and use.
  • Prefix-based system (cfmt) to avoid conflicts.
  • Works with posts, pages, and custom post types.
  • Useful for creating:
    • Meta descriptions
    • Author or copyright tags
    • Custom SEO tags

Why use this plugin?

Most SEO plugins are heavy and packed with features you may not need. If you only want to generate custom meta tags directly from WordPress custom fields, this plugin is the simplest solution.

No settings page, no bloat — just pure functionality.

  4. View the page source to see your custom meta tags in the <head>.
