Thanks Malcom for this nifty piece of code. As a newbie to the world of html, php and css I am truly grateful to people like you who share their knowledge so freely and generously.

Thank you!

A quick follow-up. knowing I use this code on many other WP sites - I dug deeper.

Turns out a domain had not been redirected as I though it was by the client. once I got the domain issue figured out - no problems.

this is by far the best little piece of code better than using a plugin anyday.

thank you Malcom!

Claire - I can't see what difference a server would make. Are you sure you've not missed out a quote mark or pointy bracket (or forgotten to set a custom field)?

Great little piece of code. works great! and I prefer not using plugins.

It works on every site I have on my server using WP.
However, I manage a WP site on a diff server & it will not work. this site has the same theme & plugins as another site that it is working on. odd. has to be a server issue?

I thought it were a myth that some search engine tools are still looking for meta keywords. But I just learnt I were wrong about that. So I am really glad, I found this code. Just trying it. Works perfect. Thanks alot to Malcolm!
BTW: It might be a bit of work to add new custom fields to each and every post. However, I prefer it that way. As the source code of the page looks much more tidy than it would be if I were using "all in SEO" (or similar plugins).

I have been searching for this code all day yesterday and finally figured out the phrase to put in the search engine and voila - up pops your site! Your instructions worked perfectly on all three of my sites! I wonder why all the theme developers don't include keywords anymore when some search engine tools still look for them.

Thank you so much! Hopefully now people can find me on search engines.

Well, you're using all in one SEO pack, so you could probably just use that ... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let you keep the link

Thanks for this post!

I had figured I needed to use those custom meta fields to add the keywords and description to each page, but I just couldn't figure out the code to add to the templates.
