    The event code isn’t being added as meta tags. It’s being added as rich snippets markup within the content (source code). Have you checked that too?

    Yes, as you can see the sniplet above is from source code, not from the GUI.

    For example name and description (see the part above) are present in metadata output by this plugin, and that’s all as far as I can tell.
    Another plugin, ngfb, picks a few more (quite impressive), but still many remain not inserted at all.
    In terms of this plugin, what in an Event would be “url” or “offers” (a link where one can buy tickets), is present in plugin’s WP Admin GUI as “Ticket URL”, but it never gets carried over to markup in source code by your plugin (nor by ngfb).

    So it depends what you look for – it seems to me that just two event metadata (name, desc) are in your source code, about 30% of tags get inserted by ngfb, and the rest are simply not used although they are implemented in your plugin GUI and I populated them for the sample event I created.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    The snippets you posted above isn’t the one for the events markup.

    The one for the events markup isn’t being added to the header. It’s being added to the content (after the content).

    Can you post a link to the page where you added the event markup?

    Yes, it isn’t – that’s why I’m asking. ??

    It’s a local (internal) page. I copied source of the page (View Source > Paste) to here: https://pastebin.com/RKRPpBw0
    It’s gonna stay there for 2 weeks.

    I think at least the following are missing for Event:
    url – in location and type of event
    addressLocality
    addressRegion
    offers

    Thanks for the link.

    I checked the source and the code is there. On line 146 you can find the following code for the event:

    <span style="visibility: hidden;"><span itemscope itemtype="https://data-vocabulary.org/Event"><meta itemprop="summary" content="Booster Content" /><meta itemprop="photo" content="" /><meta itemprop="description" content="SEO Booster Event Description dialog box (Enter a short description for the event.)" /><meta itemprop="startDate" content="2014-10-15T19:00:00"><meta itemprop="endDate" content="2014-10-15T21:00:00"><span itemprop="location" itemscope itemtype="https://data-vocabulary.org/Organization"><span itemprop="name" content="Warfield Theatre"></span><span itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="https://data-vocabulary.org/Address"><meta itemprop="street-address" content="22 Theatre Street" /><meta itemprop="locality" content="London" /><meta itemprop="region" content="England" /></span></span><meta itemprop="eventType" content="Concert" /><span itemprop="ticketAggregate" itemscope itemtype="https://data-vocabulary.org/Offer-aggregate"><meta itemprop="lowPrice" content="" /><meta itemprop="highPrice" content="" /><meta itemprop="currency" content="USD" /><meta itemprop="offerCount" content="55" /></span><span itemprop="tickets" itemscope itemtype="https://data-vocabulary.org/Offer"><meta itemprop="price" content="" /><meta itemprop="currency" content="USD" /></span></span><!-- event --></span>

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you.

    I agree, it is present, but as I’ve been saying it seems that some properties are missing: for example “url”. This plugin offers the ability to enter Event URL (and I did it), but then this property is not output in microdata.

    If “url” information wasn’t collected by your plugin then like with other optional properties, that would be fine since it’s just optional.
    But it is collected and yet not output, which looks like an omission.

    I propose that a list of what can be entered in the Event tab is compared against the list of what’s output in microcode and then the difference should be be added to a to-do list because data is collected and nowhere displayed.

    Regards
    Some Thing
