Schema & Structured Data for WP

Structured data and schema markup plugin for WordPress and AMP

Schema Pro 2.12.4 fixes a security issue in structured data on search results pages.

◆Current state
Schema Pro 2.12.4 leads with a security fix for how the plugin outputs structured data on search results pages. It also makes Regenerate Schema safer to run and fixes how addresses and special characters appear in markup. Since 2.12.0 added dataset, profile, forum and Q&A schema types in August, every release has been cleanup.
◆Where it's heading
The product follows a long cycle: one feature release that widens rich-result coverage, then months of output-accuracy and WordPress-compatibility fixes. Recent work keeps returning to output handling, and this is the first release in the post-2.12 run to lead with security.
◆Prediction
Expect more point releases until the next minor version. Based on the 2.11 to 2.12 gap of about five months, 2.13 with new schema types is unlikely before early 2027.
