New ‘Course’ Schema Type Request

Hi @stevepb,

Are you using any plugin to list the courses?

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,

I have manually added course schema to the head of some pages on my site, using a plugin which allows me to add code in the head on any page – I was an early adopter of course schema.

I noticed recently due to updates of the course schema itself, there are some errors and warnings, which I intend to correct. This triggered me to re-look at your plugin.

So, instead of manually adding the json schema to each page head (or amending what I have currently), I would rather use your plugin to achieve the same goal as it’s an easier process.

I’d also like to see ‘IsRelatedTo’ being used for products ?? and courses too.

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

After double checking, errors I’m seeing are for other schema types – It seems I have course schema json correctly setup. However, I would still like to use your plugin instead of manually adding schema to the head of pages. Here’s an example page for testing purposes: https://www.sheilds.org/nebosh-national-general-certificate/

This page contains a number of schema types:

• WebPage – 2 ERRORS
• Organization
• WPHeader
• LocalBusiness
• CreativeWork
• WPFooter
• Product – 2 WARNINGS
• Course
• SiteNavigationElement

As you can see there are 2 errors for webpage (which is inline and an issue with my theme I’m in the process of correcting) and 2 warnings for products (I need to add a review and sku). Please note that schema with errors is not due to your plugin! it is all manual schema I have added to the head of the page myself. I wouldn’t want you to think your plugin has an issue when it does not.

Course schema seems just fine, but I’d like an easier way to add this schema as well as others for the same page. If you check the values used for course schema on this page, it will give you a good overview of what should be included for educational courses.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for looking at our plugin. So you are not using any plugin to list the course.? Ok, We have raised a ticket on github ( https://github.com/ahmedkaludi/schema-and-structured-data-for-wp/issues/142 ). We will implement it soon.

We have almost all the schema type which you are adding manually. We will be happy if you use our plugin for all the above schema type.

Hi @stevepb,

Please try our new version 1.2. We have added Course schema type.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,
Sanjeev
