Is your WordPress theme or website built with inline Schema.org Microdata? As search engines increasingly prefer the JSON-LD format for structured data, updating your site can be a significant challenge. Manually removing old Microdata and creating new JSON-LD scripts for every page is tedious and prone to errors.
The Microdata to JSON-LD Converter solves this exact problem. This plugin seamlessly automates the entire conversion process:
<ol>
<li>Scans Your Pages: It fetches the full HTML of your published posts and pages, ensuring it captures all Microdata, whether it’s in your post content or your theme files (like <code>header.php</code>).</li>
<li>Converts to JSON-LD: It intelligently parses the <code>itemscope</code>, <code>itemtype</code>, and <code>itemprop</code> attributes and converts them into a well-structured JSON-LD script.</li>
<li>Removes Inline Microdata: Optionally, it can clean up your public-facing HTML by removing the now-redundant Microdata attributes, leaving only the clean JSON-LD script in the <code><head></code>.</li>
<li>Keeps It Fresh: With the “Keep up to date” option, the plugin can automatically regenerate the JSON-LD every time you update a post, ensuring your structured data always reflects your latest content.</li>
</ol>
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Full Page Parsing: Accurately reads Microdata from the entire webpage, not just post content.</li>
<li>Automatic Generation: Automatically creates the initial JSON-LD when you open a published post for the first time.</li>
<li>Manual Control: View and edit the generated JSON-LD directly in a meta box on each post’s edit screen.</li>
<li>Built-in Validator: Get instant feedback on your schema with a built-in validator that checks for common required and recommended properties.</li>
<li>Bulk Rebuild Tool: Process your entire site at once with a batch-processing tool that works through all your posts and pages.</li>
<li>“Set It and Forget It” Mode: Enable the “Keep JSON-LD up to date” option to ensure your structured data remains current.</li>
<li>Clean & Modern UI: A simple, intuitive settings page with toggle switches and tabs makes configuration a breeze.</li>
</ul>
This plugin offers a seamless migration path for modernizing your site’s SEO and structured data implementation, eliminating the need to edit your content, plugins, and theme files.

What is Microdata?
The job of microdata, is to hold the hand of a search engine, and take it directly to the data that you need it to find. This helps search engines understand what it is crawling and minimise mistakes.
Major search engines, like Google, now support something called the <a href="http://schema.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">schema.org</a> vocabulary for structured data. In English, it is a universal template for structuring data. Essentially this makes it easier for search engines to crawl your pages. As a human being, we are able to fill in the blanks when we view information, but software like search engines require a helping hand.
One of the ways the schema.org vocabulary can be embedded within a page, is by using microdata. There are different sets for whatever your page is referring to. In the case of selling products, you would use the <a href="http://schema.org/Product" rel="nofollow ugc">Product Schema</a>. If you are familiar with metadata, then think of it like that. In the HTML of your page code, you wrap the text in the same way.
What does this plugin do?
This plugin allows you to embed Schema.org Microdata for PostingBlog. But rather than pre-fill this information using other plugins, it automatically pulls the information from your Article and your WordPress Settings so that you don’t have to do anything.
The microdata won’t be shown on the page, but instead just within the footer using meta tags. This means that the page will be optimised for search engines without having to add text to the page.
Supported Schema.org
This plugin is currently limited to PostingBlog Schema.
