(_su_title)<br /> Meta Description (_su_description)</p> <p>I added those as custom fields to the form. I needed to select New for the custom field name, because custom fields that begin with an underscore are not shown in the WordPress admin. Just type them in carefully and it will be fine. You can submit a entry with some values in those fields then view the post that's created to see the effect of what you entered. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-custom-fields-with-seo-ultimate#post-39998 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:40:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 39998@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Looking quickly at the SEO Ultimate plugin, it looks like these two custom fields are used to hold the SEO title and Meta Description:</p> <ul> <li>_su_title</li> <li>_su_description</li> </ul> <p>You can use those as Post Custom Fields in your form and the data that's entered for those fields should populate the custom fields where the plugin can use the information. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-custom-fields-with-seo-ultimate#post-39974 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:53:55 +0000 David Smith 39974@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Ryan,</p> <p>A quick way to see all of a post's meta is the <strong>get_post_custom()</strong> function. Here is something you can paste in your functions.php file. Then navigate to the post single page and you should see all of the post meta at the top of the page.</p> <p>Be sure you do not make this change to your functions.php from within the admin. Use an FTP editor instead.</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/2806825" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2806825</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-custom-fields-with-seo-ultimate#post-39858 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:57:19 +0000 ryan_arnfinson 39858@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I see. What are ways to find out the metakeys my plugin is using for a certain field? Im not quite familiar with checking the database for it so it would be of great help if you could provide steps on how to do it.</p> <p>The plugin Im using is "SEO Ultimate" in case someone would already know what metakeys that this plugin uses. </p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-custom-fields-with-seo-ultimate#post-39666 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:51:24 +0000 Chris Hajer 39666@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can accept data with your form and save it in custom fields. The trick is to find out the metakey that your SEO plugin is using, and use that as the custom field name in your form where you accept the data. That way, the form submission populates the custom field, then the plugin looks for that custom field and uses it for the SEO title, description, meta, whatever.</p> <p>You will need to find out what the field names are for your plugin. In the past, I've populated one post manually with all the data, then checked the database with something like phpMyAdmin to see the exact spelling of the metakey names. Then use those names when you create your form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/creating-custom-fields-with-seo-ultimate#post-39634 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:44:00 +0000 ryan_arnfinson 39634@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When creating a post form, is it possible to create a custom field that will fill the seo fields like title tags, descriptions and such? If so, Id like to know how. Im currently using SEO Ultimate plugin as it seems better than AIO SEO.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
