How to add schema to WordPress

1. 01

   Inventory existing output

   Inspect theme, plugin, ecommerce, SEO, event, recipe, and custom-code JSON-LD before adding anything.

2. 02

   Choose one source of truth

   Decide which system owns organization, website, page, author, product, and breadcrumb entities.

3. 03

   Configure visible data

   Use accurate names, URLs, images, addresses, offers, authors, and identifiers.

4. 04

   Remove duplicate conflicts

   Do not leave multiple plugins publishing contradictory entities.

5. 05

   Validate rendered pages

   Test the production HTML after caching and optimization.

Validate the final production output in layers: JSON syntax, Schema.org vocabulary, current feature-specific requirements, visible content, and crawl access.

• Define the purpose and expected result of schema to wordpress.
• Capture the current state using visible entities, page purpose, JSON-LD graphs, identifiers, relationships, required properties, and consumer-specific eligibility.
• Identify the source template, component, plugin, content owner, and release path that controls the output.
• Prepare a test case, approval path, backup or rollback method, and post-release verification plan.

• Parse the deployed json-ld, validate the graph, compare it with visible content, and test any target consumer requirements.
• Check representative page types and edge cases instead of confirming only the example used during implementation.
• Confirm the change did not create publishing properties that are unsupported, hidden, stale, or inconsistent with visible content.
• Record the implementation date, owner, release reference, evidence, and next review trigger.
