The meta tags should be managed and placed within the <head> … </head> section of every web page.
Example of meta tags for social sharing
<html> <head> <title>Adding Meta Tags For Social Sharing</title> <meta property="og:title" content="4 Rapid Development" /> <meta property="og:site_name" content="4rapiddev" /> <meta property="og:description" content="Just a demo for adding meta tags for social sharing" /> <meta property="og:url" content="http://4rapiddev.com/" /> <meta property="og:image" content="http://4rapiddev.com/wp-content/themes/4rapiddev/images/logo.png" /> </head> <body> </body> </html> |
