It is essential that your theme includes these two action hooks in its templates. * If the problem is the theme, please contact the theme developer. * George * Plugin Author [George Notaras](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnotaras/) * (@gnotaras) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-data-doesnt-work/#post-6024779) * I’m marking the topic as resolved as it does not seem to be related to the plugin.

Please check where these action hooks are located in a default theme (usually header.php and footer.php) and either add them to your theme if missing or contact the theme developer. * Hope this helps. * George * Thread Starter [Cr7Pramana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cr7pramana/) * (@cr7pramana) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-data-doesnt-work/#post-6024903) * hi George, thank you for your respond * i love to use your plugin, because of it’s size. * but can you tell me how to check the hooks location? by looking for the shortcodes or the codes itself on the header.php or footer.hph ? * and how to add them to my theme ? * Plugin Author [George Notaras](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnotaras/) * (@gnotaras) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-data-doesnt-work/#post-6024907) * Hello, * For example, the `header.php` template of your theme should contain the following in the `.....` section. * ``` ``` * Also the `footer.php` should contain the following before ``: * ``` ``` * Hope this helps. * George Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Meta Data Doesn't Work’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/add-meta-tags.svg) * [Add Meta Tags](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-meta-tags/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-meta-tags/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-meta-tags/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-meta-tags/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-meta-tags/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-meta-tags/reviews/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [George Notaras](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnotaras/) * Last activity: [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-data-doesnt-work/#post-6024907) * Status: resolved
