Hi I want to index meta tag of Google Scholar in the header

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with indexing meta tags for Google Scholar in WordPress. To add the required meta tags dynamically based on your post information, you can use the Rank Math plugin by following these steps:

1. Install and Activate Rank Math: If you haven’t already, install and activate the Rank Math plugin on your WordPress site. You can find step-by-step instructions in the Rank Math setup guide.

2. Add Custom Meta Tags: You can add custom meta tags by using a filter in your theme’s functions.php file or by creating a custom plugin. Here’s an example of how to add the Google Scholar meta tags dynamically:

   add_action('wp_head', function() {
      if (is_single()) {
          global $post;
          $author = get_the_author();
          $publish_date = get_the_date('Y/m/d');
          $keywords = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'keywords', true); // Assuming you have a custom field for keywords
          echo '
   ';
          echo '
   ';
          echo '
   ';
          echo '
   ';
          // Add other meta tags similarly
      }
   });

3. Save Changes: After adding the above code to your functions.php file, save the changes. This will ensure that the meta tags are dynamically generated based on the post’s information whenever a post is viewed.

Please note that you may need to adjust the code to fit your specific needs, such as how you retrieve keywords or other metadata.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

Hello,

Unfortunately, this is something that is already outside the scope of our support since we currently don’t generate these types of meta tags.

To make them generate with dynamic values, you’ll need to edit the code we shared previously. If you’re using a custom field for the rest of the citation info, you can integrate that programmatically into the code we initially shared like so:

echo '<meta name="citation_journal_title" content="'.get_field('journal_title').'" />';

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
