A breadcrumb trail on a page indicates the page’s position in the site hierarchy. A user can navigate all the way up in the site hierarchy, one level at a time, by starting from the last breadcrumb in the breadcrumb list.

A few customers recently reported that they’re getting errors for the Article snippet. Specifically on the ImageObject for the Organization sub-snippet. This is what I think Google is doing and how to fix it.

How to install the Rich Snippets Plugin.
Installing the plugin is super easy. After you have downloaded the plugin from CodeCanyon or (in case you bought it from me) right from this site, you just need to follow the steps below:
- Upload the rich-snippets-wordpress plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the Rich Snippets WordPress Plugin through the „Plugins“ menu in WordPress.
- Head to the „Rich Snippets“ menu that appears in your WordPress dashboard and click „Activation“. Enter your Envato purchase code end click the big blue „Let’s get started“ button.? If you don’t know where you can find your Envato purchase code, click here.
- Then click the „Global Snippets“ menu in your WordPress dashboard to manage global snippets.
- Or add your own snippets directly in your blog posts, pages or custom post types.
Quick start
Take the Structured Data Training. It’s free for all customers. It tells you every thing from:
- What Structured Data is.
- What Rich Snippets are.
- How to use SNIP.
How can I control access to global snippets?
Normally you should be able to use the Members plugin to control access to global snippets. However, the plugin makes excessive use of WordPress’ REST API. So you also need to make sure, the REST-API calls can be made by users other then administrators. Here is how it works:
Continue readingHow to build your own Event Snippet with data from the Event Calendar Plugin
The Events Calendar Plugin is a very popular plugin when it comes to create event pages on your WordPress site. It also outputs schema.org data on the frontend (that is not visible to the end user). However in the past the developers did not update their code according to the search engines needs. Continue reading
How to deactivate JSON+LD schema output of “The Events Calendar” plugin
Google and other search engines are working heavily on schema.org integration. In the past, a lot of theme and plugin authors have integrated schema.org in their plugins but could not keep up with the speed of changes. So what I see happens a lot is that plugin and theme authors do not update their code accordingly. This is the case with the The Events Calendar plugin, too. It is missing some fields search engines want to see.
Why you should not markup reviews from Yelp, Google Maps and others.
Search Engine Land reported last month that it’s okay to post reviews from other sites (like Yelp, Google Maps, etc.) on your website. However you should not mark them up with schema.org structured data as this is against Googles guidelines. The reason is that the markup is reserved for reviews “directly produced by your site” and not copied from other sites.
So please keep that in mind when adding structured data to your reviews.
What’s new in Version 2.5?
Version 2.5 is another great update to the SNIP – Rich Snippets WordPress plugin. Here is what I’ve added in the latest version:
Can I use WP-PostRatings with SNIP?
A customer asked if he can use WP-PostRatings Plugin with the Rich Snippets Plugin for WordPress. The answer is yes. Just follow the instructions found here: Does the plugin support custom fields?
You need the following fields:
ratings_everage
andratings_users
You can also take a look at the screenshot below.
That’s it! 😉
datePublished and dateModified are now recommended Article properties
Google updated its Search Documentation. Now they recommend to add the datePublished and dateModified properties to the Article snippet. Good that my plugin already covers that!
Bing Webmaster Tools now has a JSON+LD validator
Last month, Bing has announced, that their Webmaster Tools now has a JSON+LD tool that allows everyone to check if the structured data, that has been included on a site, has a valid syntax. Awesome!
How does the licensing work?
I’m a seller on Envato Market (CodeCanyon) so I’m bound to their license system. If you want to read more about their licensing, please go and read the information about the Standard License. They even have a FAQ page that should answer most of your questions as well.
The questions that I get most often are the following ones:
Do I need a a license for every single domain?
The short answer is yes. Even the extended license does not allow you to use it on multiple domains. As far as I know, Envato has no plans to changes this in the future.
Do I need multiple licenses if I’m on a multisite?
- Yes, you need multiple licenses if every site on your multisite has its own domain name.
- No, you don’t need multiple licenses if you’re using subfolders or subdomains for the multisites.
Version 2.4 has landed!
Hey there. Finally, version 2.4.0 has arrived! Yey!
New filters for developers
The most important change is that developers now have the option to use the following filters to add custom JSON+LD data to each snippet:
- wpbuddy/rich_snippets/rich_snippet/json+ld
- wpbuddy/rich_snippets/rich_snippet/json+ld/value
- wpbuddy/rich_snippets/rich_snippet/json+ld/value/{key}
With this, Global Snippets now have a new field that allows you to add value to the @id-value of the snippet.
Gutenberg
Another important milestone is that the plugin is officially compatible with Gutenberg (the new block editor that is coming with WordPress 5.0).
Other bugfixes
Several bugs have been fixed. For example it was not possible to properly select a single post or page from within the position metabox. This now works as it should be.
It was also not possible to rate feature requests. I’ve fixed this now as well.
How to add @id field to a snippet
Since version 2.4.0 it’s now possible to add a customized @id-field to each global snippet. Just edit a global snippet and scroll down to the JSON+LD metabox as shown below.
Normally, search engines expect an URL with a hashtag here. So you can add the {url}
placeholder to replace it with the current page URL. For example, if the snippet get’s included into the page https://this-is-my.site/whatever/
and you define the @id value as {url}#product
then the full @id value would be https://this-is-my.site/whatever/#product
.
Does the plugin support The Events Calendar and/or The Events Calendar Pro plugin?
Partially. There is currently no built-in support for both of them but you can create your own snippets out of the data the two plugins create.
Further readings:
Is the plugin compatible with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD)?
There is currently no built-in support for this plugin. However we partially support WooCommerce.
Is the plugin compatible with Elementor?
Elementor is just a page builder. It normally has nothing to do with the schema markup that is generated for you.
Is the plugin up-to-date?
A question that I get asked from to time to time is if the plugin gets updated regularly. The answer is yes! The plugin exists since 2011 and it seems that it’s not going anywhere soon! 😉
Continue readingIs the plugin multisite-friendly?
Kind of. If you activate the plugin network-wide you have to setup each site separately. There is no “global schema page” that are included on all network-sites at once.
Do you offer a setup service?
Customers asked if I offer kind of a service to setup schema.org for them. Unfortunately I can’t do this at the moment as I want my energy to get into the improvement of the plugin itself. However I’m here for support questions and I’m very happy to assist you with any questions that might pop up.
Continue readingDoes the plugin work with Yandex?
Yandex is also one of the founders of the schema.org syntax. So yes, they support it. Please refer to their support pages to learn more about what exactly works and what not.
And before you ask: Yes, Bing also supports it. You can learn more about it on their help pages.
I want to build a Question and Answer site. Is that possible?
Yes, you would need to follow the instructions found here.
What Schema Markup is supported?
This plugin allows you to add every single schema markup found on schema.org. Here is a complete list that shows all markups on one page.
Plus: the plugin allows you to add schemas from the hosted extensions that are not officially part of the main syntax. You can find a complete list on this page.
Here is a complete list, of schema classes / schema types the plugin:

Does the plugin add content to each website page?
The answer to this questions (obviously) is yes as we have to output readable structured data so that search engines can read it.
However the data that is outputted is not visible to the end user. It’s only readable by search engines.
If you would view the sourcecode of one of your pages, you would find lines starting with something that looks like this:
<script data-snippet_id="snip-59a6a8000b284" type="application/ld+json">...</scrtip>
The data that can be found between these lines is the actual structured data that is formatted in JSON+LD format.
Can I create a star rating system with this plugin?
SNIP, the Structured Data Plugin for WordPress allows you to create Rich Snippets that produce stars in search results. However it does not allow your users to rate your blog post as it’s not a rating plugin. That means it has no built-in rating system that counts automatically.

You can find the latest requirements on this page.
Planned maintenance from our Web Hosting Provider
Hey customers! Today our web hosting provider told us that there will be a planned maintenance between July, 09 and July, 10 around 11 pm and 5 am CEST. So it might be that our server will not be available for up to 60 minutes during that time. That means that the Rich Snippets WordPress plugin will maybe not work as expected as it needs to load some data for your snippets from our servers.
Sorry for that inconvenience.
