Customising Structured Data

    I’d like to add structured data to my WordPress site. In my particular use case, I need the ability to add Article structured data to certain posts (not all of them), and for some posts with videos, I would like to nest the Video Object structured data alongside the Article structured data. Lastly of all, I would like to add “Profile page” structured data for certain pages (rather than the default WordPress Authors page).

    I was looking into the “Articles extension”, however it’s not clear whether this extension supports my specific requirements.

    Do you know if the extension could be easily modified to cater to my specific use case?

    Hello!

    The Articles extension will provide supplementary Article, BlogPosting, and NewsArticle structured data. It will not create video object data because we’d have to assert whether a video is posted on your page first, which is a complicated and niche process. We want to uphold the structured data policies set by Google, so we won’t allow our users to (over)write custom structured data:

    Your structured data must be a true representation of the page content.

    So, you may want to use another structured data plugin that allows you to manually inject structured data or a block that embeds videos and supplements their structured data (this would be ideal).

    Thanks for your response.

    Can you recommend any plugins that allow this functionality and play nice with The SEO Framework?

    Howdy!

    I hope you had a lovely weekend.

    I don’t know a plugin that outputs extra structured data that conflicts with The SEO Framework. In other words, anything that fits the bill should work. If you wish me to verify the one you choose, please let me know.

    You can verify this using a structured data testing tool and comparing the results before and after using the other plugin: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data.
