How do I create a Schema FAQPage?

A Schema FAQPage is a collection of Questions and Answers, and WordPress manages collections of related content in two different ways: A parent page with child pages.A taxonomy term (categories, tags, or custom taxonomies) with posts / pages as members of that term. Parent Pages. When using a parent page, you can edit the parent page and select “webpage.faq | schema.org/FAQPage” in the Document SSO metabox, and when editing the child pages, select “question | schema.org/Question” as their Schema type. Posts / pages will only be included in the parent FAQPage markup if they are of type Question, so make sure you have selected the correct Schema type for each child. If you use custom post types, WPSSO automatically recognizes the “faq” and “question” custom post types, assigning the correct Schema type automatically. If you use different custom post type names, you can assign a default Schema type for each custom post type under the SSO > Schema Markup > Schema Types tab. Taxonomy Terms. You can select the default Schema type for each taxonomy (categories, tags, etc.) under the SSO > Schema Markup > Schema Types tab. By default, all terms within a taxonomy are “item.list | schema.org/ItemList“. When editing a term (a category or tag, for example), you can also select “webpage.faq | schema.org/FAQPage” as the Schema type for that term in the Document SSO metabox. For example, if you have a category or tag named “FAQ”, then edit the “FAQ” term and select “webpage.faq | schema.org/FAQPage” as its Schema type in the Document SSO metabox. Posts / pages will only be included in the parent FAQPage markup if they are of type Question, so make sure you have selected the correct Schema type for each post / page in that term. For example, any post / page in the “FAQ” category should be of type Question.

Can I add custom Schema properties to the JSON-LD?

The Document SSO metabox allows you to customize several Schema property values based on the Schema type you choose, but if you need to include additional properties, you can use the shortcode to manage the value of each property individually. Remember to submit the webpage URL to the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to validate your customized Schema markup.
