Click Save to return to the same page. Once the item is saved 2 new sections appearing.

  • Article: This section helps you map the content type properties with Page options, Meta Properties, Site info and more.
  • Publishing Rules: This is where you can select the pages where the structured data is going to be generated to.

To learn more details on how you can use these sections visit the How to Add Structured Data to Pages documentation page.

Publishing Rules

In case, you don't want to generate the Article Content Type to all pages, you can use the available publishing rules to target specific pages. The EasyBlog Integration implements the following publishing rules:

NameDescription
Post Target specific EasyBlog Articles only.
Category Target all Articles assigned to specific EasyBlog categories.

To learn more about the Publishing Rules section visit the How to add Structured Data to Pages documentation page.

Remember, in case you don't enable any publishing rules, the structured data will be generated on all EasyBlog articles.

Notes

The Structured Data is generated only in the Article Entry View of the EasyBlog component where a single Article is displayed. The Category or List views are not currently supported.
