Rating – Local Business
-
Hi,
I’m using the article rating with schema and have added the code suggested here (https://wpdiscuz.com/community/f-a-q/post-rating-using-aggregate-rating-schema/) to push it to Local Business schema.
When running through the testing tool it throws an error as an image is not assigned. How can I address this?
Thanks

It throws an error.
Here is a screenshot
You will observe that even with LocalBusiness schema being set elsewhere and being picked up correctly without errors, the section for LB Schema from WPDiscuz is throwing an error due to no image being attached.
Is there a way to modify the php snippet to set the image attribute for Local Business?Hi @dantianhealth,
The wpDiscuz rating section cannot be responsive for the whole page and turn it to a page a LocalBusiness page. Most of LocalBusiness schema properties (including the image) should come from your page schemas. So let’s understand how are you creating your LocalBusiness pages.1. Do you use a plugin?
2. Are the pages just simple pages and you want make them LocalBusiness?If so, then you should use plugins like this:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/schema/
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/schema-and-structured-data-for-wp/Or some dedicated themes.
The Rating part cannot provide you any options to add the page specific image, this is a dynamic image and not one for all LocalBusiness pages so it should have some tool in the page editing screen to allow you manage. In other words you should only use the wpDiscuz Rating on pages, which are built for LocalBusiness and have all necessary LocalBusiness attributes. wpDiscuz only adds rating attribute it doesn’t turn your page to LocalBusiness, so it’s not correct to only use wpDiscuz and expect all LocalBusiness properties to be ready.
Again, wpDiscuz Rating is only designed to add rating info, it compliments with rating properties, it doesn’t convert your page to LocalBusiness and it doesn’t cover all LocalBusiness properties because it’s a comment plugin not a LocalBusiness builder plugin. Even if the missing attribute is just one image you still need a dedicated solution for creating LocalBusiness pages.
OK I have manage to figure out the solution
If your suggested local business conversion code is changed to:add_filter('wpdiscuz_rating_schema', function ( $rating_schema, $key, $postid ){ $sitelogo=get_theme_mod( 'custom_logo' ); $sitelogoSrc = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $sitelogo , 'full' ); $sitelogoSrc_url = $sitelogoSrc[0]; $my_rating_schema = 'LocalBusiness'; $rating_schema = str_replace(__('Article Rating', 'wpdiscuz'), $my_rating_schema . ' Rating', $rating_schema); $rating_schema = str_replace('aggregateRating', "image' itemscope itemtype='https://schema.org/ImageObject'><img style='display:none' data-no-lazy='1' src='" . $sitelogoSrc_url . "' itemprop='url'></div><div itemprop='aggregateRating", $rating_schema); return preg_replace( '|schema\.org\/Product|i', 'schema.org/' . sanitize_text_field($my_rating_schema) , $rating_schema); },11, 3);then it pulls the site logo as set in customizer and the schema validates correctly. The data-no-lazy is essential as a lazy load plugin rewrites the url and leads to invalidated schema.
This may not be the perfect answer, but it seems to be working for me!
