Just Awesome
by Anonymous User 17068261·6 years ago
I was looking for something that would just let me change the META information of each page, and not do a bunch of other stuff that wasn’t needed, and which would slow down my site. This does it, and perfectly. It also adds Twitter/OpenGraph cards, if you want that. I did. It works beautifully, and you can assign the image using the “featured image” section on each page/post.
Thank you for making this extension!

I installed this plugin one year ago and after that, I want to delete it but, when I delete it the plugin destroyed my page.
I sent few emails for support, no support! 🙁
