Adding schema with nested properties

    I think this is a fantastic plugin, yesterday I left a five star review :
    One of the reasons I think this is a fantastic plugin is that it allows programmatic adding of schema as described at:
    https://docs.wpslimseo.com/slim-seo/schema/
    This gives the example code:

    add_filter( 'slim_seo_schema_graph', function ( $graph ) {
     if ( is_singular( 'movie' ) ) {
     $graph[] = [
     '@type' => 'Movie',
     'name' => get_the_title(),
     'director' => get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'director', true ),
     ];
     }
     return $graph;
    } );

    And this works really well.

    But I would like to add eg:

    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "WebPage",
      "name": "Mortgage Calculator",
      "mainEntity": {
        "@type": "SoftwareApplication",
        "name": "Mortgage Calculator",
        "operatingSystem": "Web",
        "applicationCategory": "Calculator",
        "isAccessibleForFree": true
      }
    }

    Where “”@type”: “SoftwareApplication”, is a sub or nested property of “mainEntity”.

    Is is possible to add this type of schema structure in the free version?

    Thanks ahead of time and thanks for such a great plugin.

    Hi @jlwp123 ,

    Yes, you can add complex, nested properties for schemas by using the similar code. But instead of just adding a flat array, you can add a multi-dimensional array, like this (untested):

    add_filter( 'slim_seo_schema_graph', function ( $graph ) {
    	$graph[] = [
    		"@type" => "WebPage",
    		"name" => "Mortgage Calculator",
    		"mainEntity" => [
    			"@type" => "SoftwareApplication",
    			"name" => "Mortgage Calculator",
    			"operatingSystem" => "Web",
    			"applicationCategory" => "Calculator",
    			"isAccessibleForFree" => true,
    		],
    	];
    	return $graph;
    } );

    However, we’d recommend Slim SEO Pro for a visual schema builder, where you see and enter the details much easier. After adding schemas, you can use our browser extension to check if they’re valid.

    Hello @rilwis thank you for your response. I am just starting this site and will definitely buy Pro when the site starts to generate some money.
