How to use a certain post thumbnail size
Bill asked me today how it’s possible to use a certain post thumbnail size in SNIP. Unfortunately that is not possible at the moment directly within SNIP. However there is a workaround that extends its functionality. And here is how it works:
How to Exclude Structured Data on certain Posts
Of course you can exclude Structured Data on certain posts (pages and custom post types), too. It’s super easy (see down below). However I would not recommend to use this functionality very often as it messes up your ruleset-metabox and therefore it quickly gets very complicated.
Server maintenance in May
Our webhosting provider notified me about a scheduled maintenance of the server rich-snippets.io is running on. Therefore it might be that our website is not reachable for 60 minutes between Monday May 6, 2019 11pm and Tuesday May 7, 2019 5am (CEST timezone). It can be that SNIP will not be able to retrieve any […]

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 […]
Planned maintenance from our Web Hosting Provider
Hey customers! Today our web hosting provider told us that there will be a planned maintenance between May, 22 and May, 24 around 11 pm and 5 am CEST. So it might be that our server will not be available for about 30 minutes during that time. That means that the Rich Snippets WordPress plugin […]
How to tell search engines which of the snippets is the main snippet on a page
As you may know it’s possible to have multiple snippets on one page. However this may cause side effects. Especially if you’re using multiple snippets that can create a Rich Snippet on search results. Let’s say you have a blogpost that generates the following snippets: WebPage Review Event The Review- and the Event-Snippet can create […]
I get an error that the domain is bound to another host.
This error occurs because CodeCanyon only sells licences that are available for a single domain. If you try to install the plugin on more than one domain, you’ll get the following error on the second domain: “It seems that this purchase code is tied to another host. Please buy a new license in order to […]
Scheduled Maintenance
On Monday the new version 2.2.0 will arrive in your WordPress dashboard. To be prepared for this I’ll switch rich-snippets.io to a new server that allows to receive more requests made from the plugin.
How to generate an image (sub)snippet in global schemas for the main thumbnail
Some Rich Snippets (like the Article snippet) provide an image-attribute. In the early days it was easy: you could just provide an image URL here. However this no longer works as search engines want to see more data. That is the width, the height and the URL of an image. This is how you properly […]

I’ve been asked several times how to extend the WooCommerce: Offers” field type to include the Offer schema with additional information like hasMerchantReturnPolicy and shippingDetails. Here’s how to do it.

Making sense of Schema.org: Order of properties and their meaning
Schema.org, the structured data markup vocabulary, is a valuable tool for websites to communicate effectively with search engines and other tools. It helps provide context about the content on your site, making it easier for search engines to understand and display relevant information to users. A common question is whether the order in which properties […]
Understanding URL Formatting in JSON and JSON+LD
In the world of web development, data formatting is key. A common format used to structure data is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and its derivative, JSON+LD (JSON for Linking Data). Both are lightweight data exchange formats that are easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

How to generate Structured Data for the Events Manager Plugin
From time to time, customers ask me how to correctly create Structured Data for the Event Manager Plugin that is freely available on WordPress.org. In this post I’m going over all the properties that you’ll need.
Using SNIP on Static Site Generators
Today I was asked by a customer if it’s possible to use schema generated by SNIP on static sites generators like Gatsby. The short answer to this is: not out of the box but in this article, I would like to give a few tips and assistance on how it can work after all.
How to add block content
Since version 2.26. SNIP can add content from a block that was made with the new block editor (called Gutenberg). Here is how that works:
SNIP 2.26 is here. And it can read data from blocks!
Version 2.26. has finally arrived and it can now read data from blocks, too! That’s awesome because many of us do no longer need to add data manually! Wohoo! 😉
Exchange of Ideas With Envato: No Arrangements
In one of my last articles about “Plugin Journey” I mentioned that I will contact the Envato author team again. Simply to bring attention to what irregularities there are, especially in terms of bulk sales. I think that they are/were not even really aware of it.
Sales-Funnel progress report
I would like to give a very small progress report on my Sales-Funnel. After all, it’s been online for a few days and it’s time to draw a small progress report before I continue with the Google ad.
What’s new in 2.25?
Last week I already updated the plugin to version 2.25. Here is what is new.
Garbage disposal, once a quarter
About two years ago I read the book “The Way to be a Successful Entrepreneur“. It’s a powerful book that I can recommend to anyone. Even if you don’t necessarily want to become an entrepreneur, you can learn a lot from it. Unfortunately it’s in German language only. Anyway, what I really liked was the […]
Sales Funnel launched
It almost bothers me a bit that the wheels are turning a bit slower for me at the moment. I have to keep my one-year-old son busy half the day, so I can only work actively for the other half of the day. On the other hand, I also have a lot of fun spending […]
7-fold traffic and no further sale. Wtf!?
Through my super agency sale, my plugin skyrocketed to #1 in the weekly charts at CodeCanyon/Envato. The traffic increased sevenfold in that time. However, I didn’t have more sales as a result. What happened?
Goal achieved? 50% more traffic!
Sticking to the motto “Document, don’t create“, as I learned from Russell Brunson’s book Traffic Secrets, today I want to report what happened last week.
End of Frustration.
Finally! It’s done and I’m extremely proud to announce that my first big license sale had a happy end. A company from the USA bought 200 licenses via CodeCanyon. This allows me to continue working on SNIP. Yeah!
How I lost almost several thousand dollars
I have already expressed my frustration with Envato here on the blog a few times. Among other things, for example here or here or here. Now something happened again that almost cost me several thousand dollars. What happened can be read in this blogpost.
Bullshit bingo with 6 letters
Actually, it’s all awesome: I’ve been back at work since this week (I had taken two weeks “off” because of Easter and the office construction site I have at home) and just when it was starting to get fun with programming and blogging this happens!
Freedom of thought & making plans
It’s been two weeks since I published the last article. I had vacation. If you can call it that. Because actually I haven’t had a real vacation for a long time. So neither this time. In this blog post you can read why the ” break ” was good for me anyway …
The Coding Thrill
I’m falling into a trance right now! No… I’m not intoxicated or pumped with drugs. Haha! What I mean is the so-called flow state. That really exists. And I always get that when I dive deep into the code. You feel like you’re in the matrix.
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Support
SNIP’s support for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) continues to grow. In this blog post I collect some data that is important for the usage.
No subscription model for now
Today I had Mastermind, I was able to ask the group how I could use my plugin to make more money specifically, increase my sales or whatever. This is what the outcome was.
Subscription model for a WordPress plugin?
I have often wondered whether a subscription model could be an option for me. I was always skeptical because I’m not really a fan of subscription models myself. But as a developer, I also see that especially for products that don’t sell that often, there can be an advantage. An analysis.
WordPress plugin profitability
My setup wizard is finally ready. I’m not 100% satisfied yet, a few little things still bother me, but you should act according to the 80/20 rule, right?. And with that it should be fine for now. I had a closer look at the user and sales figures. And in this blogpost I would like […]
What’s new in 2.23?
I’m super happy to announce that I was able to finally merge my Setup Wizard into the plugin! Yeah! The new version will arrive during the next days. Learn more about it in this blog post.
Document, don’t create
Now the time has come. My setup wizard is ready. The final tests are still missing, but I am satisfied so far. In this blogpost, however, it would like to write about a completely different topic. Last Friday I sent out my WordPress newsletter (which is only available in German). The reason was or is […]
From CodeCanyon to my own website and back
After my look at the numbers, I took some time today to take a third look. This time the visitor numbers going back and forth from CodeCanyon (Envato) and rich-snippets.io.
A second view of the numbers
In my last blog post I wrote about how spring fever could possibly lead to more sales. Sounds like a joke but in fact I have no other answer. In this blogpost I would like to go a little deeper into the numbers.
Spring fever causes rising sales?
In this article I would like to talk a bit about numbers. Because I haven’t done that yet. My plan is to double the traffic to the sales page within the next 6 months. Two months are almost over.
Setup Wizard Prototype 3.0 – for more plugin traffic
It’s time to take another look at the current state of my setup wizard. Prototype 3.0.
How can you tell if you’re selling too hard?
This blog post is once again about bad reviews. Just a few days before I got a really awesome feedback from a customer. In it he wrote that he would never install a plugin with only 4 stars. But that is exactly what is currently the case with my plugin on WordPress.org. What can I […]
Get marketing tips from customers
Remember? In my last blogpost I wrote about karma. In the book I recommended (Karmic Management) it says that you should even support your competitor to attract more positive “karma”. There are some impressive examples of this in the book. That this works, I see just again. Yesterday I received an extremely impressive e-mail from […]
About possessive customers and the setup wizard
Actually, this post should appear tomorrow (my rhythm is currently Monday and Thursday) but since my son turns one year old on Friday (🥳) I’m trying to free up the day. But that’s just a side note. This blog post is about very possessive customers and the current status of my setup assistant.
