Schema Generator
Add Schema.org star ratings, FAQ markup, and rich results to individual posts.
The Schema Generator adds JSON-LD structured data to posts — star ratings derived from WP ULike votes, plus optional FAQ blocks for rich search results.
WP ULike → Tools → Schema Generator
Requires an active Pro license to save configurations.
Workflow
- Search for a post in the Schema Generator tool.
- Choose a Schema.org type and fill type-specific fields.
- Configure star ratings — auto from vote data or manual override.
- Optionally add FAQ question/answer pairs.
- Save — markup is stored as post meta and output on the front end via JSON-LD.
When the post editor panel is enabled, each post links directly to its Schema Generator entry.

Star ratings from votes
Ratings can pull automatically from WP ULike vote counts:
- Like ratio — percentage of positive votes
- Time-weighted — recent votes weigh more
- Manual override — set rating and review count by hand
Live preview shows the JSON-LD before publishing. Works best when dislike voting is enabled for meaningful ratios.
FAQ markup
Add a repeater of questions and answers. Use only when the page genuinely contains that FAQ content — misleading schema can hurt SEO.
Best practices
- Validate output with Google's Rich Results Test after publishing.
- Pair with Dislike Voting when star ratings should reflect net approval.
- High-engagement posts benefit most — low vote counts may not produce meaningful ratings.
