Schema on newspaper theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi

I’m trying to add custom schema to my newspaper site. I tried to add JSON-LD script in custom html blocks – however this was not rendered at all. https://www.maverickparadox.co.uk

Then I noticed that there is no schema on the site at all, not even Yoast automatic schema is showing. Does the theme automatically strip out schema?

Please advise:

– does the newspaper theme allow schema?
– why doesn’t the custom html blocks not work for schema?
– do you recommend a particular plugin (I’m concerned I’ll buy one and it still won’t render)

What can be done to fix this? All sites must have schema to remain relevant these days.

Please advise as soon as possible.

Thank you

Take care

Also – is there a supported way to inject page-level scripts (JSON-LD) into the head for a specific post/page without editing theme files?

Hi Jude,
Our theme adds the schema.org/Article markups by default. This option can be enabled/disabled from the theme panel > post settings > general post settings – https://i.imgur.com/16f1CJS.png. It is recommended that when an extra SEO plugin is activated, the option to not interfere be disabled.
If you want to set a JSON-LD script on a page it can be done using tagDiv Composer in HTML element.
Thank you!

Hi Calin

Thank you for you reply. Firstly I can’t see the image as it says I’m unable to view in my country? Is there a way I can view it?

I didn’t realise I could use tagDiv Composer in HTML element. How exactly do I do that?

Thanks

Take care

Hi,
The image is store on imgur and is displaying the image from the theme panel > post settings > general post settings were the option for “enable article schema” option is located.
So, to set the JSON-LD script on a page use tagDiv Composer edit the page and add the HTML element – https://we.tl/t-SjCkdyTLvu

Hi

Is there a way to add invisible schema to posts/articles? I tried adding raw html to the article but that doesn’t work.

Can you send a wetransfer link like before as I can’t see images on imgur. (If you can resend the page one too that would be great and I’ll save them both).

Thanks

Hi,
If you want to have a custom schema on each article, then you need to set the script in your article. Using the Gutenberg editor, you can add an html code and insert the code in it – https://prnt.sc/fsygyNP2FpvO
Also, you can check those articles related to json-ld:

Hi

This doesn’t work as the schema is visible on the page when I do it that way.

Can you advise please?

Thanks

Hi Jude,
Great to hear you managed!
You’ll need to follow the same steps for the pages, too.
Thanks!
