Post Meta Box add articleBody

You can use a filter to extend schema output, this example code should give you an idea of how to do that.

And, well… here is the actual code that you can use:

add_filter('schema_output', 'schema_wp_extend_output_articleBody_98738765');
/**
 * Add articleBody to Schema Output
 *
 * @since 1.0
 */
function schema_wp_extend_output_articleBody_98738765( $schema ) {
	
	global $post;
	
	if ( empty($schema) ) return;
	
	// Add articleBody
	// $schema['articleBody'] = 'This is the article body text...';
	//
	// So, you can do something like this to pull value from post meta 
	//
	// Change YOUR-KEY with the actual post meta key where value is stored
	//
	$article_body = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'YOUR-KEY', true );
	
	if ( isset($article_body) ) {
		 $schema['articleBody'] = $article_body;
	}
	
	return $schema;
}

In Addition: The reason why this isn’t part of the plugin core functionality is that, Google do not have it as a requirement. Also, this will lead to saving the whole post content in the _schema_json post meta field, which has the json-ld output for fast query by the Schema plugin.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the speedy reply!

I have implemented it and it works perfectly, thank you.

I needed articleBody for my site so was looking for this solution, thanks again!

Glad I could help.

I am not sure if this has to be included in the plugin, I will check and will add it to the plugin if it’s applicable.
