What It Does

Add flexible content boxes with JSON-LD microdata output according to schema.org standards such as FAQPage, ProfilePage, Event, Course, LocalBusiness, JobPosting, and Recipe.

This plugin allows you to insert structured data elements multiple times in any post or page. You can easily add FAQs through simple dialogs. The plugin renders the information as JSON-LD, making it recognizable by search engine bots like Google.

With options to display only JSON-LD in the source code or to render preformatted content, you can customize how your structured data appears. Test your structured data with the Markup Validator Tool to ensure correctness.

The plugin is optimized for the Gutenberg editor, with future structural elements released as Gutenberg blocks. It currently offers seven structured data elements for your content.

Once installed, find a new icon in the WYSIWYG editor to select and insert your preferred structured content element. If using Gutenberg, you can choose from new content blocks to fill out the necessary forms.

Stay updated with new structured data elements by following our changelog and Twitter account for the latest news and updates.
