Hi,
A solution may be to create a custom post type and build a template which includes the recipe schema markup.
Unfortunately i can’t provide a quick solution for this, after you build your template test the post on https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ – and adjust until you fix all errors.
If you don’t know how to do this i suggest that you look for a professional developer to help you with this task.
Thank you!
Hi Emil G,
Thank You for the reply, i am using child theme, i want to edit the existing post type, as i can’t afford a new custom post type, url structure will be disturbed. Do guide me which template file i have to edit for the single post.
Kind Regards,
SJlabar
Hi,
The files used for post templates are these – http://screencast.com/t/89FWt0iP and the functions used here you ca find them in td_module_single_base.php file – http://screencast.com/t/d3aDpcWkOdT You will need custom modifications for this, unfortunately we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Thanks!
Hello,
In the updated theme, where can i see the schema markup code ?
Thanks,
Hello,
I located the single post schema, but now i am having trouble in finding the layouts for sidebar widgets/blocks and related posts, i also need to know their functions files.
Thanks
Hi,
You can find all the post templates in the root of the theme(loop-single.php and single.php > default post style and so on) – http://screencast.com/t/UINeVAKqclR7 and almost all functions used on post templates are created in td_module_single_base.php and also tyhe schema markup – http://screencast.com/t/9aatssPR0r5
Thanks!
Thank You Alin for the reply, but i am not being able to see the schema markup for the blocks, which i am using in widgets, and the related posts
Hello,
If you use a text editor and do a search through the theme files you will see every place a schema information is mentioned in the code like so: http://screencast.com/t/oOiGZJH9u3ui
Thank you!
Thank you for the response, which text editor you suggest ? I am using notepad ++ right now.
Hi,
Notepad++ is a decent text editor. There are better ones out there though but not free (we use php storm btw https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/)
Best of luck on your project.
Thank you for your message.
Hello,
Yes i searched the schema and replaced it, but still i am seeing article schema in the sidebar content blocks for recent posts. Not being able to locate the place from where it is coming.
Hi,
Please provide more details so we can investigate this. A screenshot will be very helpful so we can see exactly the schema information you are trying to remove.
Thank you!
Hello,
Kindly check http://www.cookingrecipes.com.pk/vanilla-cupcake/ i have a recipe schema setup, but seeing 121 errors of article schema, i searched everywhere, but didn’t see any article schema.http://prntscr.com/9ydu64
Thanks,
Hello,
I have checked your website and saw that you are using an older version of the theme and google changed their tool a bit since then. Please update your theme and then check your post in the structure data tool again.
The article schema info can be found here: http://screencast.com/t/VdbusyRP9 in the same file mentioned above.
Thank you!
Hello,
Updated and now everything works fine, i want to activate the rating stars on pictures with Yasr – Yet Another Stars Rating
How can i do that ? Please guide.
Thanks,
Hi,
Unfortunately the plugin is not tested to work with our theme so we cannot say for sure how to implement it. You will have to use a bit of trial and error if you plan to use that plugin.
Thank you!
sjlabar hello, I would also need to introduce the tags for recipes ..
name
preparation time,, etc etc ..
please consider writing as you have modified the file td_module_single_base to help people like me who has had this problem
Hello mirkop86,
I got this done from a developer, hired from the envato studio. He customized the theme for me.
