Hiding/removing the summary box

Yes, I have this same question. I did a bunch of googling and could not find a clear answer. I’ve never seen this kind of summary box on any other web page. Can I remove the summary box but still keep the Structured Data? I tried to follow the links provided in the plugin FAQ, but they’re all dead links.

Do I have to uninstall this plugin in order to make the summary box go away?

Thanks,

Hi

Google do not like you hide content to user.

“Marked up content for rich snippets should not be hidden using techniques like display:none“.

“I suggest you switch to using json-ld markup if you want to separate out the markup from the visible content.”

Hello,

It is compulsory to show microdata markup on the page. If the markup is hidden then Google will not consider these hidden markups in the google search result.

Also, I would like to tell you that we have worked on a new plugin called Schema Pro that automates the process of adding schema markups on your website without showing markup in the frontend. With a simple click and select interface you can set up a markup on the entire website in minutes. All the markup configurations you will set are automatically applied to all selected pages & posts. Therefore, with Schema Pro, adding a schema markup on a website with hundreds and thousands of pages is no longer a task.

To know more about this plugin and all it does, you can read more on the following website – https://wpschema.com/
