Hello,

I am pretty new to the coding part of things in SEO related matter.

I want to add the “thumbnailUrl” as a schema markup to all my articles. I want the “thumbnailUrl”, the actual URL be my featured image.

Now i know that I can use: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#extend-json-ld-data this part, but I have no idea how it works.

So, if possible, I just want to guidance here.

I am assuming what i need is something like this?
```
/**
* Collect data to output in JSON-LD.
*
* @param array $unsigned An array of data to output in json-ld.
* @param JsonLD $unsigned JsonLD instance.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
	'thumbnailUrl' => 'the_post_thumbnail_url()'}
	return [];
}, 10, 2);
```
Please advise if possible. It would be greatly appreciated! And I will be able to go from here and add more if needed. But at least ill have an example.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

You can use an online schema generator such as this one: https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/ to generate the schema that you would like to use and pass this to the filter as shown in this example:
```
/**
* Collect data to output in JSON-LD.
*
* @param array $unsigned An array of data to output in json-ld.
* @param JsonLD $unsigned JsonLD instance.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
	if(is_singular('listing')){
	$data['Organization'] = [
			'@context' => 'https://schema.org',
			'@type'    => '',
			'@id'      => '',
			'name'     => '',
			'url'      => '',
			'sameAs'   => '',
		];
	return $data;
	}
	return [];
}, 10, 2);
```
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the reply.

The issue with the link you gave is that it will be specific to each article.

I wanted to use a WordPress hook (I think it’s called) in order to pass the same schema markup for each article. In this case, for each article to have the schema markup “thumbnailURL” take the URL of the featured image.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

You could modify the code my colleague shared. You need to check if you are in a post, in that case, get the featured image URL and then add it to the Schema with the code my colleague shared.

Looking forward to help you.

Hello,

That’s the thing. I am not sure how to modify this properly.

I will be in a post but this needs to apply to all posts. So that’s why I am figuring that I need to use a WordPress hook to make this work.

Could you please at least guide me if the one I am using is right?

Hello,

This would be a little guide of what you should do:
```
/**
* Collect data to output in JSON-LD.
*
* @param array $unsigned An array of data to output in json-ld.
* @param JsonLD $unsigned JsonLD instance.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
	if(is_single()){
           // If it is a post
           // Get its feature post URL:
           // grab the url for the full size featured image
           $featured_img_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url(get_the_ID(),'full'); 

           // Now add that URL to the ThumbnailURL schema
	   $data['thumbnailURL'] = [
			$featured_img_url
		];
	    return $data;
	}
	return [];
}, 10, 2);
```
Looking forward to help you.
