Structured data and schema markup plugin for WordPress and AMP

Schema Pro v2.12.0 adds four new schema types — the most coverage expansion this plugin has shipped in a while.

◆Current state
Schema & Structured Data for WP (Schema Pro) is a WordPress plugin that generates JSON-LD structured data for Google rich results. The product ships maintenance releases consistently, fixing validation errors and rendering bugs. Version 2.12.0 was the standout in recent history: four new schema types (datasets, author profiles, forum threads, Q&A pages) unlocked rich result eligibility for content categories the plugin previously couldn't serve. Surrounding releases are cleanup — editor console noise, WP 7.0 compatibility, and rating rendering bugs.
◆Where it's heading
The product is tracking WordPress's editor evolution reactively — future-proofing FAQ/How-to blocks for the new editor in 2.12.1 is a response to WP changes, not an initiative. The pattern is a stable utility plugin in maintenance mode with occasional meaningful schema coverage expansions. No signs of a platform pivot or significant architecture change.
◆Prediction
The next release will likely address Google Search Console validation changes or new WordPress block types, since the plugin's roadmap is inherently reactive to both Google's rich results spec and WP's block editor roadmap.
