so the geodirectory policy is that we have to create a plugin and edit it each time we discover that the default values provided by geodir are outdated?

No, the policy is to add all the most common ones and most requested ones, and also to provide the option to add your own. As far as I know the list of default ones included will be expanded in the next update.

Hi –

unfortunately I can’t get that plugin to update the category schema and I’m sort of stuck – I’m ready to upload a gazillion listings and I don’t want them to get indexed without the right schema.

It activates, just won’t add schema – I posted on the thread you referred me to.

I gave up playing with the plugin and simply edited cat_meta.php

thanks

I edited cat_meta.php to include more schema

I think it will be easier to just edit that as updates occur than mess around with the plugin

You will lose your changes after every update, while if you do it via a plugin that you control, you won’t have that problem.

In any case it’s your decision.

Thanks

have you tried the plugin yourself? I couldn’t get it to work

Yes i did and it works.

1st you need to repace this file: geodirectory-functions/cat-meta-functions/cat_meta.php

With : https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory/blob/master/geodirectory-functions/cat-meta-functions/cat_meta.php

This was noted here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/schema-type-for-custom-post-type-what-is-schema-type/#post-65129

Than create the plugin, change this 2 lines according to your needs:
```
  $schemas['NewSchema'] = 'NewSchema';
  $schemas['AnotherNewSchema'] = 'AnotherNewSchema';
```
Upload and activate and the new schema is added.

Thanks
