[Other SEOs even deem it useless](https://moz.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-seo-meta-tags). We supplement authorial information using the WebPage structured data via TSF and Articles structured data via one of our aptly named extensions. * Still, you could use a filter if you wish to add this metadata. I think this will do, but I haven’t tested it: * ``` add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_meta_render_data', function ( $tags_render_data ) { if ( is_singular() ) { $author_id = tsf()->query()->get_post_author_id(); // This verifies if the post supports authors. $author_name = $author_id ? get_userdata( $author_id )->display_name : ''; if ( strlen( $author ) ) $tags_render_data['author'] = [ 'attributes' => [ 'name' => 'author', 'content' => $author_name, ], ]; } return $tags_render_data; }, ); ``` * ([Where do I place filters?](https://tsf.fyi/d/filters#where)) * Thread Starter [DreamOn11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreamon11/) * (@dreamon11) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-meta-author/#post-17805877) * Thanks for help [@cybr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/). * I noticed this because I use Notion and when you mention a page, it manages to retrieve the author of page that you mentioned, this works for sites with YOAST but not with TSF. * I guess it’s because of the meta author tag but I might be wrong. * Plugin Author [Sybre Waaijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/) * (@cybr) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-meta-author/#post-17808045) * Hi again! * Thanks for explaining where you use it. I’ll try it out later. * I noticed I made a typo in my snippet, so it didn’t work. This updated version is tested and works as I would implement it into TSF itself: * ``` add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_meta_render_data', function ( $tags_render_data ) { $tsfquery = tsf()->query(); if ( $tsfquery->is_single() ) { $author_id = $tsfquery->get_post_author_id(); // This verifies if the post supports authors. if ( $author_id ) { $tags_render_data['author'] = [ 'attributes' => [ 'name' => 'author', 'content' => get_userdata( $author_id )->display_name ?? '', ], ]; } } return $tags_render_data; }, ); ``` * Could you [implement it](https://tsf.fyi/d/filters#where) and see if Notion now grabs the author’s name correctly? You might need to mention a page you haven’t before in Notion because they might have cached responses from other pages earlier.
