    Review schema is needed for posts (articles) and pages. Other plugins have no problem displaying this review, I know that Google finally decides about it and why this option does not have this plugin.

    Please add review schema option for posts as soon as possible.

    Review schema example here:

    Hi there,

    in September Google has limited the pool of schema types that can potentially trigger review rich results to: Product, Book, Course, CreativeWorkSeason, CreativeWorkSeries, Episode, Game, LocalBusiness, MediaObject, Movie, MusicPlaylist, MusicRecording, Organization, Recipe, HowTo, SoftwareApplication and Event. You can read more about this here: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/09/making-review-rich-results-more-helpful.html

    So, according to the guidelines rich snippets can’t be displayed for posts and pages unless the page/post is about product, book, course or any other category listed above. The plugin supports most of these categories.

    If you have different (and credible) information on the topic, share it with me ??

    This does not change the fact that rich snippets for blog articles are still displayed on Google, but less often.

    All you have to do is add the Review variable to your plugin like this one here https://ibb.co/9bVWKHz and this one still works.

    When will version 3 be ready with average rating to post meta?

    Can you send me the example of this markup in Google Structured Data testing tool? Is it error-free? The guidelines are pretty clear and they don’t state that rich snippets can’t be displayed for blog articles. They just require that the blog article falls into one of the categories listed in the guidelines (howto, recipe, book, course etc.). Hence, the plugin was adjusted accordingly and allows you to select the type property. There is also a filter “rmp_structured_data” which allows complete modification of structured data.

    I’m planning to release version 3 by the end of January on Github for testing.

    That markup has an error. If rich snippets are still shown for this markup, they for sure won’t be for long. Nevertheless, if you want to use such markup you can do that with the rmp_structured_data filter as explained above.
