Plugin does not display meta

This plugin has proven to be very useful for me, and when I had issues with implementation in my custom theme, I reached out to Aftab, the author, for help. He was kind enough to get back to me promptly and on top of that, he pointed out my error!

Thanks, Aftab.

Very useful
