Frank Schema Markup Generator

Description

Frank Schema Markup Generator is a powerful, WordPress.org-compliant plugin that helps you generate JSON-LD structured data (Schema.org markup) with centralized management. Generate, view, copy, edit, and manage all your schemas from one place!

Important: This plugin generates schema markup but does NOT automatically insert it into your pages. This ensures full compliance with WordPress.org security guidelines. You can easily copy the generated schema using View/Copy buttons and paste it into your theme or use a code snippet plugin.
