When creating a blog post the keywaords are not added to the header of the blogpost page.
Is there a reason for this?

Hello. If you are talking about keywords meta tag. Then the reason is that Google doesn't support this tag since 2009. I'm not sure, but Bing doesn't seem to support this tag either.

...However, the section for entering keywords is there...
so if they are not posted either it is a bug or that section is useless....
STAFF will tell us.
PS: it is true that keywords are taken much less into consideration, but if they are there it doesn't hurt, on the contrary.

"it is true that keywords are taken much less into consideration" - which search engines use this meta tag? Maybe Bing? Or maybe it's some other systems, such as Google Ads?
Google does not support "meta name="keywords" content="".

"Cloudio, that option does not exist in my version. 2022.2.11" - If it's not a secret, please tell me why you need this tag?

@Aleksej ...

I pointed out that you can put them in websiteX5 to answer his question.

Yes it is true that it has been years that certain search engines no longer consider META TAG KEYWORDS in the first place.

But it's not just Bing and Google...
Yandex and Baidu for example are still to this day using KEYWORDS to my knowledge.
Google and Bing ignore it, but if they find it, it does not negatively affect ... indeed ...

... from my testing of search results it is not 100% true. I have "ranked" , for testing purpose, pages that had certain terms in the META TAG KEYWORDS and did not have those terms in the page content ... and those pages are still ranking to this day and for some time, so not just in the short term.

Surely they will disappear, you can't fool the search engines forever, but for now they have them indexed and using only that TAG...

Ciao

@Aleksej

no secret, but google is not the only search engine, and they do not run everything.
Just because they don't pay attention doesn't mean other search engine don't.
There are many other search engines that do.
