Twitter card

Article summary

[henry0]

Allowing for a summary of a posted article and link to your site from your Tweeter page requires the "Tweeter Card" calling for an additional 6 lines of meta name in the article header.
How could that be done in WP?
Any plugin to facilitate the task?

Good summary post [dev.twitter.com...]

Interesting, thanks!

It is a good beginning but does not answer my question
How do you inject in the WP article's header the new meta tags?

[lorax]

You should be able to just edit your theme's header file and add what you need there. The prefered method for editing would be to use a Child Theme.

That I have already done to adapt it to my needs,
but what I need is to edit each page header, which is not possible as, indeed, there is only one header!

So how and where is that card set to serve a per page excerpt?

[lorax]

You can do this but it will require some PHP programming.

The general process is this: You'll need to create a function in your theme's function.php file and then test for the current page being displayed using is_page(). Then you can place code into the header for each page.

OK thanks, that I can do, let's crank on my UltraEdit.
