Install the WPSSO JSON Add-on

JS Morisset

WPSSO Core Plugin Required

WPSSO Schema JSON-LD Markup (aka WPSSO JSON) is an add-on for the WPSSO Core plugin — to install and activate the WPSSO JSON add-on, you must already have installed and activated the WPSSO Core plugin.

If you purchased one or more WPSSO JSON Premium add-on licenses, you received an email with a unique Authentication ID that will be required to install and update the WPSSO JSON Premium add-on.

Install the Add-on

Free / Standard version

  1. Go to the admin section of your WordPress site.
  2. Select the SSO menu item.
  3. Select the Complementary Add-ons settings page.
  4. Scroll down and locate the "WPSSO Schema JSON-LD Markup" add-on.
  5. Click the Add-on Details and Install link.

    If the link is named Plugin Details instead (no "Install" in the name) then the add-on is already installed and you can simply activate the add-on from the WordPress Plugins page.

  6. Click the Install Now button in the add-on details window.
  7. Click the Activate Plugin button when WordPress is finished installing the plugin.
  8. The add-on settings page is available under the SSO > Schema Markup sub-menu.

    1. Then click the Install Update Now button in the add-on details window.
  10. If the WPSSO JSON add-on has not been installed yet, click the Add-on Details and Install link:
    1. Then click the Install Now button in the add-on details window.
    2. And click the Activate Plugin button when WordPress is finished installing the add-on.
  11. The add-on settings page is available under the SSO > Schema Markup sub-menu.

If you have a WordPress multisite (aka network) setup, please note that the WPSSO JSON add-on and the WPSSO Update Manager add-on must be activated on the default site / blog to get Premium version updates. This is a requirement of WordPress, not the WPSSO Core plugin or its add-ons — WordPress uses the default site / blog to manage updates in the network admin interface (which means the default site must be licensed to install updates). You can find additional information on managing multisite licensing here.
