Hi,
I saw the thread about invalid schema for Event https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/invalid-event-category-schema/

I’m getting warnings from my Google console to fix schema markup warnings for missing performer and missing offer as well.

Offer and performer is not part of the Events form. Can I fix it by adding custom fields – can I somehow add schema.org markup for my custom fields?

Can there, for example, be an organization/person field that can be marked up both for organization and performer; seeing as the value for “performer” is expected to be an organization or person? (e.g. who is responsible for holding an event).

Offer can be any of several things so a field to narrow down what an event is about could be marked up for an “offer”: AggregateOffer(price), CreativeWork, Event, MenuItem, Product, Service, Trip).

There was a thread on custom fields but it didn’t quite answer what I am after.

Thanks,
Lise

Hi Lise,

Can you attach screenshot/lists which type of warnings it showing in schema?

Via using hook you can add custom fields in schema. See example here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/price-range-schema/#post-435471

I have added the “price” custom field but when I test an event listing, it does not include schema.org jsonld markup for “offer”.

I have also added text-area to include Event organizer. How can I mark this up for structured data to be the “performer” type organization / person. Will I have to include another field for choosing organisation or person to get the right schema?

Hello Lise,

– To add offers schema add price field (there is already predefined field with name geodir_price) from custom field settings.
– Create new text field with key(name) ‘geodir_performer’
– Add following code snippet.
```
function _gd_snippet_custom_event_schema( $schema, $post ) {
	if ( empty( $post ) ) {
		return $schema;
	}

    if ( ! empty( $post->post_type ) && $post->post_type == 'gd_event' ) {
		// offers
		if ( isset( $post->geodir_price ) ) {
			$offers = array();
			$offers['@type'] = 'Offer';
			$offers['price'] = $post->geodir_price; 				// Field geodir_price
			$offers['priceCurrency'] = 'USD';						// Currency code
			$offers['availability'] = 'http://schema.org/InStock';
			$offers['url'] = $schema['url'];
			$offers['validFrom'] = $schema['startDate'];
			$offers['validThrough'] = $schema['endDate'];

			$schema['offers'] = $offers;
		}

		// performer
		if ( isset( $post->geodir_performer ) ) {
			$performer = array();
			$performer['@type'] = 'Person';
			$performer['name'] = $post->geodir_performer; 			// Field geodir_performer

			$schema['performer'] = $performer;
		}
    }
 
    return $schema;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_details_schema', '_gd_snippet_custom_event_schema', 999, 2 );
```
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,
I have set the html variable name for the predefined price field to geodir_price and entered a new text field with the html variable geodir_performer

I then entered the snippet in the snippet editor and saved and activated.

I edited one of my test listings to include price and performer and went to the Google structured data tester and it still showed error for offer and performer?

I cleared the cache and tried again but no luck.

Attached the screenshot if you can pick anything I missed.

Attached screenshot of how the performer field shows up in the developer tools. I can easily find the jsonld schema information for the rest of the Event detail.

Sorry, I wonder if it might have to do with me being logged in when I copied the url??

The url is a bit different now – from a browser I am not logged in.

I do have a new security software but hope that has nothing to do with it – MalCare Pro

I have disabled MalCare security, firewall and login protection.

When I follow the link from the forum entry, it opens ok for me? I can also open it on mobile and in Chrome when not logged in.

This is all very strange – I found your IP denied in my .htaccess? Not sure how it got there in the first place. I have deleted the deny directive so hope all is good then.

My error log in cPanel showed a string of access requests from your IP.

I have activated MalCare again.
