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!

How to optimize Wordpress.org hosted blogs
I've got a blog I'm working on that isn't self-hosted. I've attached a screenshot of the message I get if I try to install any plugins. I really want to block archive, author, tag, category, etc pages but I can't seem to find a way since there's no server for me to block via robots.txt or .htaccess and I can't actually install these plugins which would give me the ability to do it. Any suggestions? vQfnt

Website Redesign - Blogger To WordPress Platform URL Structure
I am transferring a website (www.EXAMPLE.com) From Blogger To Wordpress. Currently, the website content is specific to cover the Colorado Market. In the near future, I plan on covering the same market in other state. I have seen regional websites like this that have the URL structure - (STATE.EXAMPLE.com) I have also seen websites with URL Structure - (EXAMPLE.COM/STATE) Is there any advantage using one URL structure over the other in term of SEO & otherwise? In the process of transferring the website, I would like to clean-up the URL structure but I don't want to lose a significant amount of link juice/organic traffic. Do you recommend I restructure the URLs at this time?

How to display the full structure of website on Google serps
I have been searching around but unable to gather information as to how we can control or list top pages of a website on Google's first page , i.e. if we type seomoz in google , we can see the main listing with 6 subdomain listings , which link to Blog , Seo tool , Beginner Seo guide , Learn Seo , Pricing & Plans and login My question is can we control these listings i.e. what to display and what not , and if yes how can we make this type of visibility on first page , by using html or xml sitemaps or theirs something mostly websites are missing. Cause this type of data is coming up for very less websites and mostly websites are with single urls. c43Ki.jpg

Why I am a seeing an error for duplicate content for any categories and tags on my Wordpress blog?
When I look under "Crawl Diagnostics" I see I have 12 errors for duplicate content and there are all from tags and categories. I am assuming that search engines are reading the content in the tags and categories as duplicate. Should I set my categories to "no-index?"

Best Strategy to Rank Wordpress Category
Does anyone some suggestions for best practices when trying to rank categories using Wordpress? Unless you filter it, a category provides a complete list of all posts in that category. I can add a good title and description but am not sure beyond that. Has anyone tried using a sticky post in the category and putting keyword body text in that? Lookin' for ideas.
