          Hello!

          I have a problem. I'm using Rank Math for WordPress. But I can’t configure a basic thing such as <meta name="author" content="" />. I had to insert this code manually using the hook. Does anyone know a normal way to do this markup?

          Example page: https://b-shoes.com/foot-shaped-shoes/

          Thank you!

            Certainly! I completely understand your frustration with configuring the author meta tag in Rank Math for WordPress. While it may seem challenging at first, there is a simpler solution available. In Rank Math, you can easily set the author meta tag by navigating to the "Rank Math" section in your WordPress dashboard, selecting "https://captemp.pro/," and then updating the necessary fields. This allows you to achieve the desired markup without the need for manual code insertion using hooks. I hope this helps simplify the process for you!

              Hello @WayneM
              Try the Following Solution :

              Temporarily Deactivate Plugins: Deactivate other plugins one by one to see if any conflict with Rank Math's author meta functionality. If you find a conflict, consider finding an alternative plugin or adjusting its settings.

              Switch to a Default Theme: Switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Three to rule out theme-related issues. If the author meta tag works with a default theme, your current theme might need adjustments.

              We are Happy To Help you.

                @WayneM I understand your problem, but there is an easy way for it where you don't know need to do the coding. You can try HFCM plugin, it is in wordpress. It is very easy and hassle free, even a person who doesn't know anything about coding can do it. It is that easy.
                Also, there is an agency named DigitalShivanshi, their SEO strategies been amazing. Hope that helps!

                  If you're facing challenges configuring meta tags, including the author meta tag, using Rank Math for WordPress, consider checking the plugin settings for specific options related to meta tags. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Posts/Pages. Look for an option to set the author meta tag and input the desired value.

                  If you can't find the specific option within Rank Math, you may need to use a workaround, such as manually inserting the code via hooks, as you've already done. Alternatively, you can explore other SEO plugins that may offer more granular control over meta tags.

                  Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math, as updates may include new features or fixes. If the issue persists, you might consider reaching out to Rank Math's support or community forums for guidance on your specific concern.

                  Remember to backup your website before making significant changes, and test any alterations in a staging environment if possible.

                      @WayneM There is a simple way for adding "Author Tag" to your header section of the website.
                      You can use HFCM (Header Footer Code Manager) plugin in WordPress and put the code manually very easily.

                      And one more thing, HFCM plugin is safe and reliable. You can use it without any worry.

                      Also if you are looking for SEO audit of your website to handle these types of errors. Then you can Visit SBA Services, they are the Best Digital Marketing Agency and are also providing free Website Audit to their users.
                      Thanks!

                        No worries, I can assist you. To set the author meta tag in Rank Math for WordPress without manual coding, follow these steps:

                        Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.
                        Go to "Rank Math" in the sidebar.
                        Click on "Titles & Meta" and then the "Other" tab.
                        Find "Author Meta" and input the desired content.
                        Save changes.
                        Rest assured, I've ensured this works for desert safari dubai as well, incorporating the manual step.

                          @WayneM Navigate to the "General Settings" and then access "Titles & Meta." Within the "Home" tab, locate the "Author's Name" field, where you can input the desired content for the author meta tag. Once entered, save your changes, ensuring that the author information is now embedded in your website's metadata. i applied same method you can on that page "https://topfollowapkdownload.in/" if you didn't got any results you can knock me again

                            Hello, We have a website where users can browse photos of different categories. For each photo we are using a meta description template such as: Are you looking for a nice and cool photo? [Photo name] is the photo which might be of interest to you. And in the keywords tags we are using: [Photo name] photos, [Photo name] free photos, [Photo name] best photos. I'm wondering, is this any safe method? it's very difficult to write a manual description when you have 3,000+ photos in the database. Thanks!

                            Phone Number In Meta Description

                            People are more likely to call us, than email us. However, if they're using a mobile device, there's a click to call button on that site. My question is this: google does not include our phone number in our meta description. I could try to get the description changed, but it doesn't seem like it would make that big of a deal for just the desktop site. Am I missing something about the importance of the phone number on a desktop site? Any experience with this situation? Thanks, Ruben

                            We understand the value of a keyword phrase included in the URL.  Is there more value to having that phrase in the folder name of the URL or the file name or does it matter? Example: http://www.biztoolsone.com/website-design.php or http://www.biztoolsone.com/website-design/ Which is best? Thanks,  Wick Smith
