(How to) Add Video Schema

Hello @galbaras,
We have provided an option to add a video schema in the product edit page.
Please update the plugin with the latest version.

Thank You.

Thank you for this, @nikhilgadhiya, but it’s better to have a global setting for schema generation, and to have the upload date, name and description fetched automatically.

Rank Math Pro does this automatically when it discovers a video on a page, so I know it’s possible.

@nikhilgadhiya If it helps, see https://rankmath.com/kb/content-analysis-api/ for Rank Math integration.

Also, here’s an action hook I’ve written to automate creating reasonable schema records when those fields are left blank:

add_action( 'save_post', 'custom_save_wc_video_schema', 15 );
function custom_save_wc_video_schema( $post_id ) {
	$nonce_name   = isset( $_POST['nickx_video_url_nonce'] ) ? $_POST['nickx_video_url_nonce'] : '';
	$nonce_action = 'nickx_video_url_nonce_action';
	if ( ! wp_verify_nonce( $nonce_name, $nonce_action ) ) {
		return;
	}
	$product_video_urls = $_POST['nickx_video_text_url'];
	if ( ! is_array( $product_video_urls ) ) {
		$product_video_urls = [ $product_video_urls ];
		update_post_meta( $post_id, '_nickx_video_text_url', $product_video_urls );
	}
	if ( ! $product_video_urls[0] ) {
		return;
	}
	$schema = isset( $_POST['video_schema'] ) ? $_POST['video_schema'] : [];
	$date = isset( $_POST['nickx_video_upload_date'] ) ? $_POST['nickx_video_upload_date'] : [];
	$name = isset( $_POST['nickx_video_name'] ) ? $_POST['nickx_video_name'] : [];
	$description = isset( $_POST['nickx_video_description'] ) ? $_POST['nickx_video_description'] : [];
	foreach ( array_keys( $product_video_urls ) as $key ) {
		$schema[$key] = 'yes';
		if ( ! isset( $date[$key] ) || ! $date[$key] ) {
			$date[$key] = get_post_time( 'Y-m-d', false, $post_id, true );
		}
		if ( ! isset( $name[$key] ) || ! $name[$key] ) {
			$name[$key] = get_the_title( $post_id );
		}
		if ( ! isset( $description[$key] ) || ! $description[$key] ) {
			$description[$key] = get_the_title( $post_id ) . ' by Tania Olsen Designs';
		}
	}
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_video_schema', $schema );
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_nickx_video_upload_date', $date );
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_nickx_video_name', $name );
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_nickx_video_description', $description );
}

Hi Nikhil,

For some reason, line 123 of class-rendering.php calls wp_get_attachment_image_url() without specifying an image size, which defaults to thumbnail. Unfortunately, this isn’t a good size for various purposes.

Please change this to wp_get_attachment_image_url( $video_thumb_ids[$key], 'full' );

Alternatively provide a filter for the thumbnail size and/or for the output of nickx_get_nickx_video_schema() (it’s good practice to have both).

One more thing that can help override things is making $nickx_rendering_obj global, so that its actions can be removed.

Thank you,
Gal
