How to disable SEO plugins without damaging the site?

Question

WordPress

Almost all SEO plugins are flawed. Why can't everything be done simply, according to the principle of the "Excerpt" widget? Look at the picture. How can I add something to the functions.php file so that everything that I drew works according to the principle of the "Excerpt" widget? Well, of course, so that the corresponding widgets appear under the input of the article text ...

You enter the desired value in the corresponding widget under the article and the code that we add to functions.php will convert the corresponding meta tags into html. How to implement this?

Perhaps someone knows the solution. Tell me how to refuse SEO plugins without damaging the site?

Well, nothing in the world is perfect)
What exactly do you dislike about SEO plugins? I used to use Yoast SEO Premium when I was doing web development.

You can, of course.
The simple solution is to install the ACF plugin. Create the fields you need (title, description, keywords). Display these custom fields in the template (inside the head in
header.php
)

How to do what to add to the functions.php file so that everything that I drew works, according to the principle of the "Excerpt" widget

This is no longer a question, but a task. What you need to read I have indicated above. As for me, a simple solution is to use ACF. Or better yet, I would recommend using an SEO plugin. They have a lot of all sorts of goodies and they are trying to update their functionality according to the requirements of Google. For example, the number of characters for the title, description. Also, for example, Google does not rank keywords and Yoast SEO removed the keywords field from its functionality. Also, for example, there is micro-markup in SEO plugins, etc.
