Structure Data Output Help

[Noble Studios]

Hello,

I am noticing a particular script tag being output on sites with Tribe Events. However, I’m having trouble tracing where it’s being output. Just curious if anyone knew if Tribe is doing it or WordPress core is getting in the way.

Example: This site http://tahoesouth.com/events/free-live-music-at-the-hard-rock-hotel-casino-lake-tahoe/2015-05-15/ Has the following script tag (view source) which I DON’T want…

<script type="application/ld+json">[{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Free Live Music at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe","image":"http://tahoesouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/hard-rock350.jpg","url":"http://tahoesouth.com/events/free-live-music-at-the-hard-rock-hotel-casino-lake-tahoe/2015-05-15/","startDate":"2015-05-15T07:00:00+00:00","endDate":"2015-05-16T06:59:59+00:00","location":{"@type":"Place","name":"Vinyl inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino","address":"50 US Hwy 50, Stateline, NV 89449 United States"}}]</script> <script src="http://app.prismcam.com/public/libs/prism.core.js"></script>

Any help is appreciated.

Hello there!

That’s a really great question. That structured data is being generated from the follow location:

/the-events-calendar/lib/Google_Data_Markup.php

That info is added to your event page so that Google (and possibly other search engines) can understand the data that your page contains. Once Google understands the data on your site, it can be presented more attractively in search results. Have a look at the example Google has provided in their About Structured Data Markup Helper page.

You can actually see the rich search result for your event in action right now:

So essentially, folks searching Google that come across your events may potentially see them in a much more attractive way which may improve your site’s traffic.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help with anything else.

Kind Regards,
Jami
