Metatag Simple Widget

24 sites Security covered Drupal 10–11 Metatag ecosystem
View on drupal.org

This module provides a simpler widget for editing basic SEO metadata like title, description, and image, making it easier for users to manage this information without being overwhelmed by advanced options. It allows configuration per field to either show or hide default values.

Metatag Simple Widget provides a streamlined, user-friendly interface for entering basic SEO metadata (just the title, description, and image) without the complexity of the full Metatag Firehose.

Features

This module offers an alternative field widget with a simplified form that focuses only on the most commonly used fields: meta title and meta description. This is ideal for authors unfamiliar with HTML meta tags, who may feel overwhelmed by the advanced form.

This widget includes a setting to 'show default values' in the form. Disabling this settings will hide default values such as [node:title] | [site:name] from displaying and confusing users unfamiliar with Drupal's tokens or entity structures.

Post-Installation

After installing the module:

  1. Go to Structure → Content types → Your content type → Manage form display.
  2. Locate the Metatag field (assuming you already have a metatag field on your bundle.)
  3. Click the gear icon ⚙️ next to the widget selector.
  4. Change the widget to "Simplified meta tags form".
  5. Optionally configure the widget to show or hide default values like [node:title].

There are no global settings or configuration pages. All behavior is controlled per-field.
