How Do I Make Rich Snippets in WordPress?
Making rich snippets in WordPress is a bit more complicated than simply adding some snippets to your post. It involves setting up a few different pieces of WordPress code and then configuring them correctly.
The first thing you’ll need to do is create a custom taxonomy. This is a category of posts that will be used to store the snippets.
You can create a custom taxonomy by going to Settings > General > Taxonomies and then clicking on the Add New Taxonomy button.
Once you’ve created the taxonomy, you’ll need to add some posts to it. To do this, go to your post editor and click on the Add New Post button. In the post editor, you’ll need to fill in the following fields:
Category – This is the taxonomy that the post will be categorized under.
Post Title – This is the title of the post.
Post Slug – This is the slug of the post.
Post Description – This is the description of the post.
Post Format – This is the post format.
In the fields that follow, you’ll need to add the following data:
Taxonomy – This is the taxonomy that the post will be categorized under.
Tags – This is a list of tags that will be assigned to the post.
Rich Snippet – This is the content that will be displayed in the rich snippet.
You’ll also need to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_custom_taxonomy_setup’); function my_custom_taxonomy_setup() { register_taxonomy( ‘my_custom_taxonomy’, ‘snippets’, array( ‘label’ => __( ‘Rich Snippets’, ‘mytheme’ ), ‘singular_label’ => __( ‘Rich Snippet’, ‘mytheme’ ), ‘show_in_menu’ => true, ‘show_in_nav_menu’ => true, ‘hide_on_admin_pages’ => true, ‘public’ => true, ‘slug’ => ‘my_custom_taxonomy_snippets’, ‘has_archive’ => true, ‘exclude_from_search’ => false, ‘public_disclosure’ => true, ‘tax_name’ => ‘snippets’, ‘tax_rate’ => 0, ‘enabled’ => true, ‘__constructor’ => function() { this.label = __( ‘Rich Snippets’, ‘mytheme’ ); this.singular_label = __( ‘Rich Snippet’, ‘mytheme’ ); this.show_in_menu = true; this.show_in_nav_menu = true; this.hide_on_admin_pages = true; this.public = true; this.
slug = ‘my_custom_taxonomy_snippets'; this.has_archive = true; this.exclude_from_search = false; this.public_disclosure = true; this.tax_name = ‘snippets'; this.tax_rate = 0; this.enabled = true; } }); }.
This code will register the taxonomy, set the labels and show the rich snippet in the post’s editor and in the post’s menu. You’ll also need to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_custom_post_setup’); function my_custom_post_setup() { register_post_type( ‘snippets’, array( ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Rich Snippets’, ‘mytheme’ ), ‘singular_name’ => __( ‘Rich Snippet’, ‘mytheme’ ), ‘show_in_menu’ => true, ‘show_in_nav_menu’ => true, ‘hide_on_admin_pages’ => true, ‘public’ => true, ‘slug’ => ‘my_custom_post_snippets’, ‘has_archive’ => true, ‘exclude_from_search’ => false, ‘public_disclosure’ => true, ‘tax_name’ => ‘snippets’, ‘tax_rate’ => 0, ‘enabled’ => true, ‘__constructor’ => function() { this.
show_in_nav_menu = true; this.slug.
