Hi Javier,

I added the missing strings in version 2.9.2. Thanks again for pointing them out for me! I haven’t yet had a time to deal with the external libraries but I will soon 🙂

Okay, the update is out and now you can select one of the supported structured data types in the settings. Two filters are available for structured data:

1. rmp_schema_type

This filter enables you to set a different type if certain conditions are met. Let’s say you have a custom post type of recipe and you want to have the recipe structured data only in these posts. You can do that as shown in the example below:

function my_schema( $schemaType ) {
  if( is_singular( 'recipe' ) ) {
    return 'Recipe';
  }

  return $schemaType;
}

add_filter( 'rmp_schema_type', 'my_schema' );

2. rmp_structured_data

This filter allows you to change the complete output of structured data. The plugin doesn’t support Event, HowTo and SoftwareApplication structured data because these require additional information that can’t be generic. For example, Event requires start time as well as location. The example below shows how to implement the Event structured data type.

function my_structured_data( $structuredData ) {
  $voteCount = rmp_get_vote_count();
  $rating = rmp_get_avg_rating();
  $img = get_the_post_thumbnail_url();
  $name = get_the_title();
  $structuredData = '
  <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "Event",
    "aggregateRating": {
      "@type": "AggregateRating",
      "bestRating": "5",
      "ratingCount": "' . $voteCount . '",
      "ratingValue": "' . $rating . '"
    },
    "image": "' . $img . '",
    "name": "' . $name . '",
    "location": {
      "@type": "MusicVenue",
      "name": "Chicago Symphony Center",
      "address": "220 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, Illinois, USA"
    },
    "startDate": "2014-05-23T20:00"
    }
    </script>
  ';

  return $structuredData;
}

add_filter( 'rmp_structured_data', 'my_structured_data' );

As you see, some data above is hardcoded and it’s on you to make it dynamic 🙂 My approach would be to use ACF plugin and then retrieve the data from custom fields. Nevertheless, there are many ways to do this. In the future I might make it possible to add Event, HowTo and SoftwareApplication via shortcode, depending on the requests I get here.

Thank you @desertsailors! 🙂

@dieter93, please let me know how experimenting goes. Many of these markups require extra information. For example, “how to” requires steps etc. I’m being cautious with the update because the last thing I want is for users to get manual penalties. I’ll do more testing and then decide how to proceed.

Hi @rp4rusty,

I’ll add a filter there in the next update. I hoped to push an update this week but I’m not sure I’ll manage. Next week at latest 🙂
