Schema Scalpel 2.0 delivers surgical precision to your WordPress structured data. The headline feature: a brand-new metabox right inside the post/page editor (Gutenberg and Classic), letting you create, edit, and manage custom JSON-LD schemas without ever leaving the content screen.
No bloated page builders or separate dashboards for everyday use — just fast, intuitive schema editing where you already work, with real-time AJAX saves and a modern, clean interface.
Core Benefits & Features
- New in 2.0: Powerful Editor Metabox — Add/edit/delete per-post/page schemas directly in the editor. Real-time saving, syntax-highlighted JSON editor, visual separation of local vs global schemas.
- Examples Library — One-click copy of Google-recommended templates (FAQPage, Article, HowTo, Recipe, Product, Organization, Breadcrumb, and more).
- Per-Page Precision — Override or supplement global schemas for ultimate control — ideal for blogs, eCommerce, local businesses, and agencies.
- Global & Homepage Schemas — Still fully supported via the dedicated Schema Scalpel dashboard.
- Improved Security — Hardened against XSS (titles, URLs, breadcrumbs fully sanitized), secure JSON encoding, strict input validation — building on previous critical fixes.
- Compatibility — Works flawlessly alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO. Easily disable their schema output to avoid duplication.
- Lightweight & Performant — Pure JSON-LD injection, no frontend bloat, optimized database storage.
- Safe Uninstall — Optional setting to clean up data on deletion — respect privacy and keep your site secure.
- Modern Codebase — Strict typing, full WordPress Coding Standards compliance, PHP 7.4+ compatibility.
