Requirements

In order to use the plugin with a custom template, there is two requirements, you must:

• Include in your base template the metadata template that comes shipped with antimatter, such as: {% include 'partials/metadata.html.twig' %}
• For Microdatas, you must use Grav's asset manager. If your template has a line with {{ assets.js() }}, it will works.
• The SEO tab extends the default blueprint, if it does not appear, make sure your blueprint extends the default blueprint with extends@: default
