SEO titles & meta descriptions

TMN writes an SEO title and meta description for every article it generates — the text search engines show in results. It works with your existing SEO plugin, and stands in for one if you don't have it.

Turn it on (it's on by default)

Meta generation is controlled by your Generation Preset, under SEO automation:

• Generate meta title

• Generate meta description

Both are on by default, so you usually don't have to do anything. The same SEO-automation group also generates tags and schema. Switch any of them off in the preset if you'd rather handle them yourself — see Use presets.

Works with your SEO plugin

When a post is generated, TMN detects your active SEO plugin and writes the title and description straight into its fields — so they appear in that plugin's editor and on your live pages, exactly as if you'd typed them in. Supported plugins:

• Yoast SEO

• Rank Math

• All in One SEO

• SEOPress

• The SEO Framework

Detection is automatic — there's nothing to configure. If you switch SEO plugins later, newly generated posts write to the new plugin's fields.

TMN also keeps its own copy of every title and description, alongside the SEO plugin's. So nothing is lost if you change or remove your SEO plugin.

No SEO plugin? TMN handles it

If none of the supported plugins is active, TMN serves the meta itself:

• It outputs the page title and the <meta name="description"> tag on each article, so search engines still get the right values.

• It adds a lightweight "SEO Meta (TMN)" box on the post editor where you can read and edit the meta title and description by hand.

That box only appears when no supported SEO plugin is active — when one is, you edit the meta in that plugin instead.

Editing after generation

You're always free to tweak what TMN generated — your edits win.

• With an SEO plugin — edit the title and description in that plugin's panel on the post, as usual.

• Without one — edit them in the SEO Meta (TMN) box on the post editor.

Where it's stored

TMN writes the title and description to two custom fields on every post:

• Meta title — _tmn_meta_title

• Meta description — _tmn_meta_description

It writes the active SEO plugin's own keys too, so both stay in sync. Developers can change or extend the destination keys with the tmn_seo_meta_keys filter.

• Use presets — where the SEO-automation toggles live.

• Generate & publish articles — meta is written as each post is created.
