  • Hello, first of all congratulations on this great plugin.
    A few days ago I found in the support forum google a case in which a webmaster had been penalized by google for misuse of their web structured data.
    I’ve been a little surprised because experts told the forum that the penalty could be due among other reasons to the labels “display: none” that the plugin WP-POSTRATING “included in the code of the web.

    I wonder if this plugin installation can lead to a penalty by google

    Just make mention this code snippet in the tag: “display: none”:

    <div style = "display: none;" itemprop = "image" itemscope = ""
    itemtype = "https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <meta itemprop = "url" content = ""> <meta
    itemprop = "width" content = "150"> <meta itemprop = "height" content = "150"> </ div>
    
    <div style = "display: none;" itemprop = "publisher" itemscope = ""
    itemtype = "https://schema.org/Organization"> <meta itemprop = "name" content = ""> <div
    itemprop = "logo" itemscope = "" itemtype = "https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <meta
    itemprop = "url" content = ""> </ div> </ div>
    
    <div style = "display: none;" itemprop = "aggregateRating" itemscope = ""
    itemtype = "http://schema.org/AggregateRating"> <meta itemprop = "bestRating"
    content = "5"> <meta itemprop = "worstRating" content = "1"> <meta itemprop = "ratingValue"
    content = "5"> <meta itemprop = "ratingCount" content = "1"> </ div>

    Thanks and best regards
