Hello,

Thank you so much for getting in touch.

Using other schema plugins will surely conflict with ours.

If you wish to customize our schema without the PRO, you’ll have to make use of our filter code to extend the schema structure and add custom properties like Mentions and About:

/**
 * 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 ) {
	return [];
}, 99, 2);

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.

Hello,

Here’s a sample filter you can use and customize to add the About and Mentions schema to your site:

add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
    // Add this to your about page only
    if ( ! is_page( 'about' ) ) {
        return $data;
    }

    return [
        [
            '@context' => 'https://schema.org',
            '@type'    => 'WebPage',
            'about'    => [
                '@type' => 'Thing',
                'name'  => 'Web Development',
                'sameAs' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_development'
            ],
            'mentions' => [
                [
                    '@type' => 'Organization',
                    'name'  => 'WordPress',
                    'sameAs' => 'https://wordpress.org'
                ],
                [
                    '@type' => 'Thing',
                    'name'  => 'SEO',
                    'sameAs' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization'
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ];
}, 99, 2 );

If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

Also, if you need to further customize the filter, it would require extensive custom coding. You may need to hire a developer who could implement that since it already falls outside the scope of our support.

Looking forward to helping you.
