Recipe Wordpress Plugin - Structured Data?
-
We have been using this plugin for years: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ziplist-recipe-plugin/ and it appears that it's causing us serious problems in Google. So we're looking for either a new plugin or possible directions on if we should custom build an option into our site.
Ultimately we're looking for the best setup for the Recipes on our site to obtain a Featured Snippet. Thank you!

Excellent resource, thank you!

Yes. I usually go for having everything under control. Moreover, implementing schema.org is really not a hard thing to do. I tried a quick search and found this article: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/schema-wordpress-seo/. It might help. They talk about a plugin which does schema.org integration in Wordpress but also show you how to implement it yourself. I hope it helps.

Yes, we've received a manual penalty (Spammy structured markup) within GSC and our Organic traffic has dropped ~25%. We're fairly certain the plugin is the problem, especially since it hasn't been updated for a few years. But we're never 100% positive. This is our best bet.
Thanks for the heads up on Data Highlighter. Can you explain what the difference between this and Schema.org?
-
Ok, so you'd recommend just coding directly into the theme, rather than trying to find another plugin.

Hello,
I would suggest the following:
1. Use Yoast SEO plugin (https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) for general search engine optimization.
2. Code the Recipe structured data markup following the information in this link: http://schema.org/Recipe. You can code this in the specific theme file for your recipes from the Theme Editor.
Best of luck!

Canonical Url Structure Vs. Google Search View
I recently set up a new site and set the "preferred" domain in Google Webmasters to show URLs WITHOUT the WWW for google search purposes. In the confirmation email from google, this confused me: "This setting defines which host - www or not - should be considered the canonical host when indexing your site." In the website, we have cononical URLS at the top of every page in the header, but still have the WWW in those. Any issues with that?

Mobile Site Domain/URL Structure
We are currently building a mobile optimised version of our main website and I had some questions with regard to SEO. 1. Is it best to structure the domain as: m.yourdomain.com yourdomain/m 2. It is correct to place rel="cannonical" on the mobile pages and to have only the main site indexed? Thanks in advance and links or books on mobile seo you can direct me to that would be greatly appreciated. Phil

Help needed with robots.txt regarding wordpress!
Here is my robots.txt from google webmaster tools. These are the pages that are being blocked and I am not sure which of these to get rid of in order to unblock blog posts from being searched. http://ensoplastics.com/theblog/?cat=743 http://ensoplastics.com/theblog/?p=240 These category pages and blog posts are blocked so do I delete the /? ...I am new to SEO and web development so I am not sure why the developer of this robots.txt file would block pages and posts in wordpress.
