Article Schema

Hello, I understand that you’ve successfully added the articleBody to the Rank Math’s article schema. To add the wordcount to the article schema, you can use the following code snippet:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function( $entity ) {
    $entity['wordcount'] = str_word_count( wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_content() ) );
    return $entity;
});

This code snippet will add the wordcount to the article schema. Once you’ve added this code snippet, make sure to save the changes.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

To add the timeRequired in the article schema, please update the code above and use this instead:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function( $entity ) {
	$entity['wordcount'] = str_word_count( wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_content() ) );
    $entity['timeRequired'] = 'PT18M19S';
    return $entity;
});

You may update the time as well to match your actual data.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

You can use this filter code to automatically generate the timeRequired:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function( $entity ) {
    // Calculate the time required based on the average reading speed (words per minute)
    $average_reading_speed = 200; // Adjust this value based on your estimation
    $wordcount = str_word_count( wp_strip_all_tags( get_the_content() ) );
    $time_required_minutes = ceil( $wordcount / $average_reading_speed );

    // Format the time in ISO 8601 duration format
    $hours = floor( $time_required_minutes / 60 );
    $minutes = $time_required_minutes % 60;

    $entity['wordcount'] = $wordcount;
    $entity['timeRequired'] = 'PT' . $hours . 'H' . $minutes . 'M';

    return $entity;
});

You can adjust the reading speed value ($average_reading_speed) according to your audience’s typical reading pace. We used 200 words per minute in the code.

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
