Does Schema Pro Add Schema Markup to Blog Archive Pages

Understanding Schema and Archive Pages

Schema Pro is designed to help you add structured data (schema markup) to individual content types like:

  • Blog Posts
  • Pages
  • Products
  • Custom Post Types

This structured data helps search engines understand your content better, enabling rich results like featured snippets, article previews, product ratings, and more.

However, Schema Pro does not automatically apply schema markup to blog archive pages, such as:

  • The main blog listing page
  • Category or tag archive pages
  • Author archive pages
  • Date-based archive pages

Why Doesn’t Schema Pro Add Schema to Archives?

Archive pages are not single entities; they are collections of multiple posts or entries. Applying a schema type like Article or BlogPosting to such a page would be technically incorrect and could lead to warnings or errors in tools like:

Because of this, Schema Pro avoids adding schema to archive pages to ensure your structured data stays valid and error-free.

Want Schema on Archive Pages?

If you have a specific reason for adding schema to archive pages (for example, CollectionPage or a general WebPage schema), here are a few options:

Add Schema Manually: You can manually add JSON-LD schema code to your archive templates using theme hooks or a child theme. This gives you full control but requires some coding knowledge.
