From time to time I get asked if it’s possible to add schema to WordPress without plugin. And the answer is yes. Even though it’s super inconvenient if you want to add Structured Data to many posts at once. But read on to learn more about schema, Structured Data and the benefits in SEO.
Servus! (That is Bavarian for “hello”.) It’s me again, Florian, the developer of SNIP Structured Data for WordPress plugin. This is the next update about my plugin journey. Wohoo! It’s my second post. I’m doing this be because I’ve read the book “Traffic Secrets” from Russel Bruson and he wrote that it’s a good idea […]
Hey guys, I hope you’re doing well on this fourth of January 2021. I’m writing this blog post because I’m currently reading the Book Traffic Secrets from Russel Brunson. In his book, he writes that you should share your journey of you and your product. And why not take that as a good New Year’s […]

What an exciting time and Christmas present, both for me and for everyone who wanted to try SNIP before spending money. SNIP free is now available on w.orgs plugin directory.
I grant you that: It was a bit quiet around the plugin over the past year. The reason was the work on other projects, which are now finished. So the development continues at full speed. And these are my plans for SNIP:
Since Google has switched its Rich Snippets Test Tool to a more modern Rich Results Test Tool, people do see a lot more “Page not eligible for rich results known by this test” errors. This pages tries to explain what the error is and how to fix it.
From time to time customers ask me if SNIP has a negative impact on page load time. Here is the answer to that:
Google officially informed about the fact that everyone who has an online business should pause it appropriately if they’re affected by the corona virus. It also involves using Structured Data. And here is how:
From time to time, people ask me what schemas I would recommend. The answer is: you need to decide that yourself. Since Structured Data is part of technical SEO, it depends on your plans on your overall holistic SEO strategy. Here are a few tips.
If you have custom post types or post types that have been added by third-party plugins and want to add singular Structured Data snippets to them, please follow the instructions below:
Some of you already got an email from me saying that SNIP is currently on SALE. Here is why:
A customer asked if it’s possible to add content from a shortcode inside of a schema property. The short answer is: SNIP does not support this at the moment, but I can see that there are use cases where this can be beneficial.
Well…. at this point in time, the speakable schema is still in BETA. At least this is what Googles Structured Data reference says about the Speakable. However some users want to integrate it already in their sites. So why not creating a little tutorial about it?
Ivan sent a message over Twitter and asked how to get breadcrumbs to work with tags. As you may know from the How to use Loops to iterate over items tutorial, it’s pretty simple with categories because they’re hierarchical. That’s not the case with tags. So it lead me to this blog post which shows […]
This will be a short post because Sitelinks – at this point in time – do not have anything to do with Structured Data.
Since Google said that they now support the FAQPage schema, customers keep ask me on how to do it properly.

A few customers have reported today that Google search console as well as Googles Structured Data Test Tool brings up the following error: One of offers or review or aggregateRating should be provided. In this post I want to investigate a little further what’s happened.
In mid-September, Google announced changes to the way Rich Snippets are displayed. By tagging websites with structured data, website operators can create more than just the usual snippets of title, text and URL. Now, it seems, the changes are through.
Finally I found the time to write the “what’s new” blog post like I did it with the other updates before that.
I’ve got a new pre-sales question from Tobe. He asked what the maximum Rich Snippets are that can be displayed at the same time. In this post you can find the answer.
Benoit, a developer and very welcoming customer of mine, asked how he can integrate comments into this schemas. Here is an example field type that I’ve coded for him. Feel free to customize it the way you like it.
Yes it is.
In this blog post I want to demonstrate how you can create your own field types in SNIP so that you can calculate and integrate custom code into any field.
In this post you’ll find a list of filter hooks that SNIP provides. Filter allow you to override certain code.
Here is an example of a Global Snippet that allows you to show lists of products on product taxonomies (product categories and product tag) pages:
If you purchased SNIP on CodeCanyon, you subscribed to a 6-month (or optionally a 12-month) support plan, which automatically expires after this time. After that, you will need to renew your support in order to receive personalized support. Here’s how you can do that:
Because this is asked frequently here is a little how-to on how you can add Structured Data for Breadcrumbs on WooCommerce product pages.
I’ve just sent out an email to all subscribers to inform everyone about the things that are currently going on in my day-to-day job of making SNIP better and better. Of course I also want to keep everyone else up to date with the latest news. That’s why this blog post exists.
Last week I attended WordCamp Europe in Berlin. WordCamps are conferences that focus on everything WordPress-related. It’s not only for developers, by the way. You should go to one that is close to your home town as well!
Google started its job search some time ago in Germany (and some other countries). This functionality was already available in some English-speaking countries, but it has since been introduced in many other countries, too. It seems like it’s time for me to write something about what others call “SEO for Job Postings”. This only describes […]
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:
Yeah, another month of Structured Data! That’s great! And here are the changes that have made it into SNIP, my Structured Data Plugin for WordPress:
The time has come: nobody can avoid structured data anymore. It’s part of technical SEO. I wrote a lot about it in the past but in this blog post I want to focus on Schema for WooCommerce. Hopefully you can learn a lot about it and you are able to create your own snippets after […]
Another cool update has just been pushed out. Here is what has changed during the last two versions for SNIP, the Structured Data Plugin for WordPress:
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 […]
Yes it does. However you need to work with overridable schema properties within SNIP because the WP Job Manager Plugin does not provide all fields that are necessary to add all recommended properties.
Have you ever seen the date of a post in search results? Yes, that’s also done with Structured Data. Here is how it works.
Hurray! Today marks the day of the 10th major update of SNIP, the number one Structured Data Plugin for WordPress! Read on to find out what’s new in this version!
Last week I’ve found a nice blog post from iThemes where Kevin D. Hendricks used the term “Position Zero” for search results. And Rich Snippets play a big role in this.
Yeah I just pushed-out version 2.9. In this blogpost you can read what’s new.
SNIP Pro will have a “sync functionality”. In this article you can read how I envisage the function in the future.
In version 2.8.0 of SNIP a long awaited feature came into the plugin. The feature is called “loop” and allows you to define a property to use a loop that it runs through. Here is how this works:
SearchEngineRoundtable reported a while ago that Google is currently testing Rich Snippets on Desktops for Events.
SearchEngineRoundtable reported that Google has updated its Content Guidelines for Q&A Pages last week.
Google today announced a new so called Rich Media Tool. As far as I understand it, this tool is the replacement for the current Structured Data Test Tool.
Today I released version 2.7. In this version I mainly wanted to make the experience of using SNIP as smooth as possible. So I focused on the onboarding process a lot. But the update fixed some issues as well. Read more in this post.
