Adding meta name=”rating” tags — how?

In your themes functions.php file, or in a new plugin that you create for this, you can add in this code:

function set_adult_rating() {
    echo '<meta name="rating" content="adult">';
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'set_adult_rating' );

Wow, that actually worked. Thanks!

By the way, my 2023 theme directory doesn’t have a functions.php file, so I appended it to wp-includes/footer.php file. Is it possible that this file will be overwritten in a future WP update?

100% yes.

The best option might be to create a small plugin file for that, and just use that instead. It will do the same job, just needs a tiny bit more coding.

<?php
/**
 *  Plugin Name: Add adult meta tag
 */

function set_adult_rating() {
    echo '<meta name="rating" content="adult">';
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'set_adult_rating' );

Save that as a new file, and upload that to your plugins folder. Then activate it and it will do the same thing, with no worry about it being over-written.

Oh, and don’t forget to remove the code from your footer file. 🙂

Thanks, while you were typing your comment, I was reading around and about to reach the same conclusion. A site-specific plugin seems like the perfect way to do this… Once again, this helped a lot!
