Issue
- The Custom Meta Tags feature does not include a name attribute, but instead uses the property attribute.
- There's a key difference between the name and property attributes in meta tags.
- The name attribute is typically used to define general metadata about a webpage, such as description, keywords, author, and viewport settings.
- However, the property attribute is mainly used with the Open Graph protocol, which is commonly supported by social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn for better content sharing and representation.
- Is the property attribute of the current Custom Meta Tags feature similar to the name attribute?
Resolution
- The Custom Meta Tags feature exclusively supports the addition of meta tags using the
property attribute, as it was specifically designed for the Open Graph protocol.
- Currently, there isn't a similar tool available for
name or other meta tag attributes.
- However, for Description, Keywords, Canonical, Robots, and Sitemap meta tags, the SEO section of the page can be utilized.
