Reviews in combination with Schema plug-in

    Hi there!

    Loving this plug-in so far. All options I need and easy integration in Google rich results.

    However, I want to bring it one step further and combine the star ratings in the rich results with a price.

    To get the price in the rich results, I used “Schema Pro”. This plug-in makes it possible to show the price, but unfortunately, I lose the star ratings.

    I tried to configure RateMyPost with either “Product” and “CreativeWorkSeries”. This both works well and shows up in the Rich Results. However, as soon as I add the price with “Schema Pro”, I lose the star rating.

    Is there any way I can use this plug-in in combination with price?

    Hi @geckoroutes,

    the Schema Pro structured data will interfere with Rate my Post structured data as both plugins use the same data types. So, the best thing to do would be to either disable Schema Pro structured data or Rate my Post structured data in the settings. Rate my Post’s structured data is focused on aggregate ratings (votes) and at the moment doesn’t support optional fields such as price. Nevertheless, there is a filter (rmp_structured_data) which allows you to modify the structured data to your needs. More about this in the documentation: https://blazzdev.com/documentation/rate-my-post-documentation/

    HI Blaz,

    Thanks for your reply. I wasn’t sure how to add prices in the function file and each post according to this method.

    Luckily I found another way that might work, but I’m not there yet.

    In Schema Pro, I can select a custom field for “rating” and review count. For “review count” I can use the rmp_vote_count, which is also verified by schema tester.

    However, when searching for other rmp codes, I can only use two other rmp which are: rmp_rating_val_sum or rmp_feedback_val_new. Is there any code I can use for the average rating? avg_rating or rmp-rating are unfortunately not recognized by Schema Pro.

    Thanks,

    Maarten

    Hi Maarten,

    the problem is that the current production version of Rate my Post doesn’t save average rating as post meta because it calculates it on the go. I see that the Schema PRO plugin has a filter for fields so you might be able to insert average rating with rmp_get_avg_rating( $postID ) function. Their support should be able to help you with this.

    Alternatively, I can send you a build of Rate my Post version 3 which does save average rating to post meta. However, version 3 is still in development and thus you would have to test it thoroughly. Let me know what you decide.

    Hello Blaz,

    Thanks for the clear explanation. Unfortunately, I cannot add rmp_get_avg_rating in Schema Pro as it is not recognized.

    Would love to try out version 3 on my staging website and see if this works.

    You can send it to [email protected]

    Thanks,

    Maarten
