Hi @terence,
That’s a great idea! It does require a new metabox as it’s not bound to Webmaster or anything else.
Expect a free separated plugin for these kinds of things in the future :).
For now, please use the following code to add the verification ID:
add_action( 'init', 'my_alexa_code' );
function my_alexa_code() {
if ( is_front_page() )
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_pro', 'my_alexa_code_output' );
}
function my_alexa_code_output() {
// Change this. Keep the apostrophes at the beginning and end.
$alexa_id = 'myIDcode-1234567aBc';
echo '<meta name="alexaVerifyID" content="' . esc_attr( $alexa_id ) . '"/>';
}
This code will be cached if you use object caching, but it’s very light weight already.
Thanks and have a great day!
P.S. I have not tested the code but it should work 😀
“P.S. I have not tested the code but it should work :D”
I tried it as a dynamic snippet and as an entry in my child theme functions.php, but it doesn’t appear to 🙁
Hi @terence,
Whoops! Filters can’t echo 😛 My mistake, I’m getting tired :3
A reworked version of the code above, simpler and more effective. This one works 🙂
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_pro', 'my_alexa_code_output' );
/**
* Add alexaVerifyID after The SEO Framework output.
* Is already hooked on init.
*
* @return string|void The Alexa Verify ID meta tag.
*/
function my_alexa_code_output() {
//* Change this. Keep the apostrophes at the beginning and end.
$alexa_id = 'myIDcode-1234567aBc';
if ( is_front_page() )
return '<meta name="alexaVerifyID" content="' . esc_attr( $alexa_id ) . '"/>' . "\r\n";
return;
}
Now that one works perfectly and puts it right where it ought to be.
Many thanks Sybre.
