Glad to hear that.

Great!

Ok, so I’ve taken another look and it seems that the function responsible for truncating headline has an issue!

I’ve updated the whole function and pushed the 1.7.8.7 update.

Please, update the plugin and test it out.

P.S. After updating the plugin, go to the plugin settings and click on the “Save Changes” once, then flush site cache if you are using any caching plugin (This to make sure changes has taken place).

I was mistaken! I’ve tested again and see an error. It says:

(String length of headline must be in range [0, 110])

This means all sites that has headlines longer then this range will get an error when testing schema.org markup.

I think I will revert it back, and then you can use a filter to decide title length. Here is an example code:

add_filter('schema_wp_truncate_to_word_limit', 'truncating_headlines_chars_limit_5655665256');
/**
 * Schema Plugin: Modify Truncated Headlines limit 
 * 
 * Schema filter truncated headline string limit to anything else than 110 characters 
 *
 * @since 1.0
 */
function truncating_headlines_chars_limit_5655665256( $limit ) {
    
    $limit  = 110; // number of characters
             
    return $limit;
}

This function can be placed in your theme’s functions.php file. Set the limit number from 110 to a higher number.

Here is also a link to a gist to grab the code.

The Schema plugin has basic schema.org types that is needed for your website and blog. Schema for Autos is not part of it, but you can add support for new schema.org types or extend Schema markup to be or include anything you want with some coding.

Hi, there is a whole thread dedicated for this where I’ve explained several differences. Please read about Schema plugin vs Yoast SEO.

Also, here is a link to where I explain Schema compatibility with Yoast SEO.

I hope this gives you a sense of common areas and differences between both plugins.

Hi Sebastian,

I know what you mean. But, this was limited within the plugin to comply with Google guidelines for schema:Article.

The headline of the article. Headlines should not exceed 110 characters. See more details here!

I’ve tested it again now though, I got no error when headline exceeds 110 characters! So, I went ahead and modified this in the plugin.

I will release the update soon. Please, look for version 1.7.8.5 and update the plugin to get this fix.

Hi, since this forum is dedicated to the free Schema plugin, it’s not possible to answer your queries here.

Please submit a ticket here.

Sure, will get back to you with a reply soon.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with the plugin, if you still haven’t got your refund, submit a request here, and I will make sure to take care of it.

Schema 1.7.8.4 has been released with a fix.

Thanks again!

I am afraid that this will require a lot of coding since it’s not possible to add Local Business markup in the free version.

We are working on a new premium extension to output schema for Local Business that might interest you (it’s not free though!) it should work with no conflict with Yoast SEO plugin.

Hi, BlogPosting must be used on the site’s Blog section to have a valid schema.org markup output.

I am not sure if this can be updated in the future, but we’ve introduced ItemList in the premium version of Schema plugin to give more options when dealing with Blog markup, especially for mixed type of content.

This could be a limitation in the free plugin, but this is how it was coded on the first place. It was designed for a standard WordPress installation.

Hi, thanks a lot for reporting this issue. It turns out that published date and other properties as well are not pulled correctly.

A fix in the coming version 1.7.8.4 will be released soon.

Hi, the headline is truncated to be 110 characters max following Google’s guidelines:

The headline of the article. Headlines should not exceed 110 characters. For AMP stories, the headline should match the text in the first cover page in the AMP Story.

See how to modify the headline length using filters if you need to change that.
