JetEngine Custom Post Type & Repeater Field

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing. To assign your JetEngine repeater field "Steps" to the How-To schema in Rank Math, you will need to ensure that the data from your repeater field is correctly formatted and integrated into the schema markup.

Here’s a general approach you can follow:

1. Ensure Rank Math is Installed: Make sure you have the Rank Math plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site.

2. Use Custom Fields: In your custom post type settings, ensure that the repeater field for "Steps" is set up correctly. You may need to use a code snippet to pull the data from the repeater field into the schema.

3. Add Code Snippet: You can add a custom code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin to integrate the repeater field with the How-To schema. Here’s an example of how you might structure it:

   add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
      if ( is_singular('guides') ) { // Check if it's a single guide post
          $data['howTo'] = [
              '@type' => 'HowTo',
              'name' => get_the_title(),
              'step' => []
          ];
          if ( have_rows('steps') ) { // Replace 'steps' with your repeater field name
              while ( have_rows('steps') ) {
                  the_row();
                  $data['howTo']['step'][] = [
                      '@type' => 'HowToStep',
                      'name' => get_sub_field('step_name'), // Replace with your sub-field name
                      'url' => get_permalink(),
                      'itemListElement' => get_sub_field('step_description') // Replace with your sub-field name
                  ];
              }
          }
      }
      return $data;
   }, 10, 2 );

   Make sure to replace 'steps', 'step_name', and 'step_description' with the actual names of your fields.

4. Test Your Schema: After implementing the code, use Google’s Rich Results Testing Tool to verify that your How-To schema is being generated correctly.

Hello,

If you’re using JetEngine, the %customfield()% variable may not work as expected, so you’ll have to create a custom variable to use it in the schema.

Here’s a guide you can follow:

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Sorry, but this will still require some coding from your end. Here’s an example of how we pick up repeater fields from ACF for a FAQ page: https://rankmath.com/kb/automate-faq-schema-with-acf-repeater-fields/

The same goes for How-to schemas, there are just some parts of the code that require changing.
