  • Essential Plugin

    This plugin is incredibly helpful in quickly allowing for meta tags to be added to the Gutenberg sidebar. A tedious task otherwise... This makes the task quick, efficient. Excellent work.

  • Essential plugin for CPTs in a Gutenberg world

    Since I started using Gutenberg to build sites I've found this plugin essential in order to add meta info for CPTs. At one point I looked around for alternatives but ended up finding none that could do everything this plugin does. Thank you!
