A WordPress plugin that generates Review, Organization, Person, and Service JSON-LD structured data. Originally designed for thestartupfoundercoach.com.

Installation

  1. Copy the wp-json-ld-lite folder (containing wp-json-ld-lite.php) to wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin in WordPress admin under Plugins
  3. Configure settings under Settings > JSON-LD Lite

This plugin is designed to work with Strong Testimonials for generating Review structured data from wpm-testimonial posts.

Without Strong Testimonials, the plugin still works but with reduced functionality:

  • Organization, Person, and Service structured data are output normally
  • Review data and aggregateRating are omitted (no testimonial posts to query)
  • Per-testimonial meta fields (Author LinkedIn URL, sameAs, etc.) have no effect
  • No PHP errors or breakage — the plugin degrades gracefully

Settings (Settings > JSON-LD Lite)

All settings are stored as a single option (wpjsonld_settings). Four sections:

  • Output Options — Context-aware output is automatic; optional checkbox to enable Organization/Person/Services on all pages, plus a "Testimonials Archive Page" selector (since the testimonial post type has no built-in archive, pick the regular page — e.g. /testimonials/ — that lists them; it then gets the full Reviews + AggregateRating output)
  • Organization — Name, URL, description, sameAs URLs, founding date, contact info
  • Person — Name, description, job title, image, sameAs URLs, alumniOf, knowsAbout
  • Services — JSON textarea for an array of Service objects (invalid JSON falls back to [] on save)

Per-Testimonial Fields

When editing a testimonial, 5 additional fields appear under "JSON-LD Enrichment" in the Client Details section:

Field Purpose
Author LinkedIn URL Review author's LinkedIn profile
Author Description Override Overrides auto-derived "Title of Company" (leave blank to auto-generate)
Author sameAs URLs One URL per line (Crunchbase, press, etc.)
Company sameAs URLs One URL per line for the author's company
Review Context Description Describes the coaching context for itemReviewed.description
