FAQ Schema Shortcode

Опис

FAQ Schema Shortcode is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily add FAQ sections to your site using simple shortcodes. It automatically generates structured data (JSON-LD schema) for each FAQ, helping search engines better understand your content and improving your site’s SEO with rich results. By using the [faqs_dbm] and [faq_dbm] shortcodes, you can quickly create FAQs that are both user-friendly and SEO-friendly, enhancing your site’s visibility in search engines.

Example:
[faqs_dbm]
[faq_dbm q=”What color is the sky?” a=”Blue”]
[faq_dbm q=”What color is grass?” a=”Green”]
[/faqs_dbm]

Часті питання

What is the shortcode for displaying FAQs?

Use [faqs_dbm] as the container shortcode and [faq_dbm q="Your question?" a="Your answer."] for each individual FAQ item. Wrap the individual items inside the container like this:

[faqs_dbm]
[faq_dbm q=”What is this plugin for?” a=”It helps you display FAQs with JSON-LD schema for SEO.”]
[/faqs_dbm]

Can I use a simpler shortcode like [faqs] and [faq]?

Yes, enable the “Shortcode Alias” option in the plugin settings. This will allow you to use [faqs] and [faq] instead of the default [faqs_dbm] and [faq_dbm].

How do I enable accordion functionality?

Go to Settings > FAQ Shortcode, and check the box labeled Accordion. This makes the FAQ entries collapsible and expandable.

How can I change the accordion colors?

In the settings page, you can set:
– Text color
– Background color
– Background hover color
Just enter valid HEX values (like #ff0000) for each.

Does this plugin add FAQ schema for SEO?

Yes! It automatically generates JSON-LD structured data so search engines like Google can understand and feature your FAQs.

Can I use HTML in the question or answer?

Yes, but it’s sanitized. Only the following tags are allowed in the answers:
<a> with href, title, and target
<strong>
<em>
<ol>
<ul>
<li>

How do I include a link?

You would simply replace the ” with ‘
[faqs]
[faq q=”How to include a link” a=”Just like this“]
[/faqs]

The FAQ Schema Shortcode plugin is straightforward and does exactly what it promises—adds FAQ structured data to your WordPress site with ease. It’s a great alternative to removed plugins like Structured Data if you only need FAQ functionality. The shortcode system is intuitive and works seamlessly for creating SEO-friendly FAQs. It would be fantastic to have the option to customize the “Q” and “A” labels, especially for non-English websites, to better support multilingual setups. Additionally, the ability to add custom CSS or a border around each question would enhance its visual flexibility. Overall, a very solid plugin for anyone looking to implement FAQ schema without unnecessary bloat. Highly recommended!
