Hi guys, new here, im doing a simple project with a single page (index.html) but i cant seem to add meta tags to the head (description, keywords), same thing with the title tag, i add them on my Tree but once i export the project they dont show up live. I’ve checked documentation but the only thing even close to answer this was the “master pages”, which refer to a “define editable area” action that doesnt even appear on my Actions list. Regardless i bet i dont need this info since its a single page, but even so its not working, any of you guys have an idea what am i doing wrong here? Cheers! ---

Hi, you mentioned exporting the project, so I’m assuming you’re using WP? If so, you can’t use PG for meta data because that is controlled by WP. You’ll need to use a plugin to update that info. ---

Hi Jon, yes i am using the plugin of WP. So all meta data is done this way? Description, Title, Keywords, etc…? I tried searching their Documentation but i could never find anything about this except when refering to “Master Pages” which had actions that i cant even find on my end. Thanks for the info! ---

Correct, you can use a plugin like Yoast SEO or RankMath to alter all the metadata. ---

Cheers! That’s such a pity tho, one of the reasons i liked Pinegrow in the first place is that i could just remove it at the end of the project and one less plugin weighting the website down, now it will force me to use a SEO plugin just to add a couple of metas to pages (my sites are usually only 5-pages long) haha ---

That’s more of a WP failing than anything else since WordPress doesn’t natively give us any tools to manipulate the Meta Title, Meta Description, OG Tags, etc. It’s frustrating and a bit appalling that, in 2023, WP would rather leave this core functionality to plugins rather than build in at least the basics for theme developers to use.
