Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
0 delivers surgical precision to your WordPress structured data. The headline feature: a brand-new metabox right inside the post/page editor (Gutenberg and Classic), letting you create, edit, and manage custom JSON-LD schemas without ever leaving the content screen.
No bloated page builders or separate dashboards for everyday use — just fast, intuitive schema editing where you already work, with real-time AJAX saves and a modern, clean interface.
Core Benefits & Features
New in 2.0: Powerful Editor Metabox — Add/edit/delete per-post/page schemas directly in the editor. Real-time saving, syntax-highlighted JSON editor, visual separation of local vs global schemas.

Per-Page Precision — Override or supplement global schemas for ultimate control — ideal for blogs, eCommerce, local businesses, and agencies.
Global & Homepage Schemas — Still fully supported via the dedicated Schema Scalpel dashboard.
Improved Security — Hardened against XSS (titles, URLs, breadcrumbs fully sanitized), secure JSON encoding, strict input validation — building on previous critical fixes.
Compatibility — Works flawlessly alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO. Easily disable their schema output to avoid duplication.
Lightweight & Performant — Pure JSON-LD injection, no frontend bloat, optimized database storage.
Safe Uninstall — Optional setting to clean up data on deletion — respect privacy and keep your site secure.
