  2. Where do I insert all the keyword text? In the Plugin Editor? Do I enter my text after the word content”? It looks like there is a missing “.

    echo ‘<meta name=”keywords” content=”‘;
    so it would read

    echo ‘<meta name=”keywords” content=”keyword1, keyword2, etc.”‘;

  3. @Sylvia – A META Keywords tag will be present between the head tags when you view the source code of single pages.

    @Albert – All in One SEO already has this functionality.

    @Mike – The best way for SEO is to add individual keywords to every article. But that is very tedious for hundreds of articles. This plugin is a quick fix to add keywords to all articles instantly.

    @Cristi – The keywords are inserted automatically. You dont need to do anything.

  4. I like the plugin. Only issue I have is that I use tags more than categories, i.e.: one category but many tags. Is there a way round this?
