Integrate ACF into Schema

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with integrating ACF into the Schema in Rank Math. It seems like you are trying to use the provided code to autopopulate schema fields but are encountering a critical error.

To ensure that ACF fields work correctly with Rank Math’s Schema Generator, please follow these steps:

1. File Location: Make sure that you are editing the correct file. If you are using a child theme, the file should be named rank-math.php and placed in your child theme’s directory. The naming is crucial, so ensure there are no typos.

2. Code Snippet: The code snippet you provided from Pastebin should be correctly formatted and placed within the rank-math.php file. Here’s a basic example of how the code should look:

   add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
      if( ! have_rows('faq-acf-repeater') ) {
          return $data;
      }
      $data['faqs'] = [
          '@type' => 'FAQPage',
      ];
      while( have_rows('faq-acf-repeater') ) {
          the_row();
          $data['faqs']['mainEntity'][] = [
              '@type' => 'Question',
              'name' => esc_attr( get_sub_field('faq_question') ),
              'acceptedAnswer' => [
                  '@type' => 'Answer',
                  'text' => esc_attr( get_sub_field('faq_answer') ),
              ],
          ];
      }
      return $data;
   }, 10, 2 );

   Ensure that the field names (faq-acf-repeater, faq_question, faq_answer) match exactly with what you have set in ACF.

3. Debugging: If you continue to receive a critical error, check your site’s error logs for more details on what might be causing the issue. This can provide insight into whether it’s a syntax error or a conflict with another plugin or theme.

4. Shortcode Usage: After ensuring that the schema is correctly populated, you can use the shortcode provided by Rank Math to display the data on your site. Make sure to refer to the documentation for the correct shortcode usage.

If you still encounter issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

The code you are using isn’t correct. You haven’t mentioned the Schema type where you want to add the values. Here is a code to add the details to the Organization/LocalBusiness Schema:

add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
    $data['publisher']['address'] = 
        '@type' => 'PostalAddress',
        'streetAddress' => esc_attr( get_field('street_address', 'option') ),
        'addressLocality' => esc_attr( get_field('locality', 'option') ),
        'addressRegion' => esc_attr( get_field('region', 'option') ),
        'postalCode' => esc_attr( get_field('postal_code', 'option') ),
        'addressCountry' => esc_attr( get_field('country', 'option') ),
    ];
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

Please note that the code will only modify the Schema in the front end. So the Schema shortcode won’t display the details you are adding using the code.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
