Hello Muhammad

This depends on the way you add these snippets in your pages.
As far as I understand, you just have to select the proper template or template part that’s not getting loaded in category pages or use an action hook with the proper conditional tags https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags in order to exclude category pages.

Warm regards,
Dimitris

Hi. Hope you are doing well. I have used this method many times and rich snippet appears on google but the Rich Snippet also shows for category pages. Google has placed manual action for that. How to resolve this issue so that Schema only appears in posts, not on category pages?

Hi again,
I found a solution.

Instead of copying in the header your function, I installed it as a plugin from here :
Thanks to manukanu who posted it on the wordpress.org forum :

Hi Daniel,
thank you so much for these great explanations.

I still have a problem :
– in my header I’ve copied Alexandre’s function
– in my custom field a JSON-LD script

Google testing tool is only showing me hentry and in the left part, I can’t see the custom field’s script.
Any idea what’s going on ?
Thank you.

great, great, great article ! ! ! ! Kudos!! This was so helpful at just the right time as schema is a work in progress and plugins are still lacking . . . . someone needs to create the perfect all-in-one plugin to solve everything LOL but personally I prefer the hardcoding myself and found the “child-theme” solution in the comments!! please update the post to help the rest . . . but totally awesome article, very well done, ty

This has been super helpful on my quest to understand this schema stuff! I have a question though. A google search revealed that the description of my site went gobledegook when I implemented JSON-LD using custom fields on two of my pages (the schema testing tool showed no errors). I have since left the schema markup on the two pages in question but changed my header.php file back to the original version to see if that changed how google read my site description. Where did I go wrong? What could be messing me up or conflicting? Thanks

Hello Daniel
I just want to say this site is freaking awesome. Haven’t found another place that goes in depth and takes the time to teach people step by step how to properly do something.
All this website stuff is all new to me and I had a quick question I hope someone could help me with.

I understand that adding Schema will help with the local part of SEO but will adding Schema for local business take away from being seen in other countries? I’m in Canada and most of my sales are to customers in the US.

Hello Daniel

Firstly thank you for a clear concise and above all easy to understand and go away and actually implement, article.

I wanted to add that some people do find starting out using Schema really confusing, not helped by the awfully convoluted way that Schema and Google deliver the info.

I’ve been using Schema or Rich snippet data on sites I work with, mainly small service business sites, for about 2 years.

But I started using the very easy to use Google Data Highlighter found on the Search Console.

Now I know that this isn’t technically adding Schema to the actual website however it gives new users a good starting point on how Rich snippets work … The results show quickly.

Also Google also give you a schema markup building tool to build code to then drop into your website.

Just thought others might find this useful extra stuff … I find clients who want to manage their own sites find the data highlighter really easyuse.

Great article thanks again.
