## Beschreibung

**Schema Scalpel 2.0** delivers surgical precision to your WordPress structured 
data. The headline feature: a **brand-new metabox** right inside the post/page editor(
Gutenberg and Classic), letting you create, edit, and manage custom JSON-LD schemas
without ever leaving the content screen.

No bloated page builders or separate dashboards for everyday use — just fast, intuitive
schema editing where you already work, with real-time AJAX saves and a modern, clean
interface.

### Core Benefits & Features

 * **New in 2.0: Powerful Editor Metabox** — Add/edit/delete per-post/page schemas
   directly in the editor. Real-time saving, syntax-highlighted JSON editor, visual
   separation of local vs global schemas.
 * **Examples Library** — One-click copy of Google-recommended templates (FAQPage,
   Article, HowTo, Recipe, Product, Organization, Breadcrumb, and more).
 * **Per-Page Precision** — Override or supplement global schemas for ultimate control—
   ideal for blogs, eCommerce, local businesses, and agencies.
 * **Global & Homepage Schemas** — Still fully supported via the dedicated Schema
   Scalpel dashboard.
 * **Improved Security** — Hardened against XSS (titles, URLs, breadcrumbs fully
   sanitized), secure JSON encoding, strict input validation — building on previous
   critical fixes.
 * **Compatibility** — Works flawlessly alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All 
   in One SEO. Easily disable their schema output to avoid duplication.
 * **Lightweight & Performant** — Pure JSON-LD injection, no frontend bloat, optimized
   database storage.
 * **Safe Uninstall** — Optional setting to clean up data on deletion — respect 
   privacy and keep your site secure.
 * **Modern Codebase** — Strict typing, full WordPress Coding Standards compliance,
   PHP 7.4+ compatibility.

Whether you’re chasing rich results (stars, carousels, FAQs), improving entity understanding,
or just giving search engines cleaner data — Schema Scalpel makes it effortless 
and reliable.

## Installation

### From WordPress Dashboard

 1. Go to **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Search for **Schema Scalpel**.
 3. Install and **Activate**.
 4. Start adding schemas via the new metabox in any post/page editor, or visit **Schema
    Scalpel** in the admin menu for global settings.

### Manual Upload

 1. Download the plugin ZIP from WordPress.org or GitHub.
 2. Upload the `schema-scalpel` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` via FTP.
 3. Activate the plugin from **Plugins** screen.
 4. Customize schemas in the editor metabox or dashboard.

## FAQ

### Where do I add/edit schema in v2.0?

Use the new **Schema Scalpel metabox** that appears in the post/page editor sidebar—
it’s now the fastest way for per-page work. Global and homepage schemas remain in
the main **Schema Scalpel** menu.

### Will my old schemas still work?

Yes — all existing global, post, and page schemas are automatically available in
both the metabox and dashboard. Zero data loss or migration required.

### Does it conflict with Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO?

No — it plays nicely. Disable schema generation in those plugins if you want Schema
Scalpel to take full control.

### Why choose JSON-LD over microdata/RDFa?

Google strongly recommends JSON-LD — it’s cleaner, easier to maintain, doesn’t mix
with HTML, and supports the most advanced schema types.

### Is the plugin secure?

Yes. As of v2.0.3, the plugin utilizes strict `$wpdb->prepare()` patterns for all
migrations and queries. We have hardened the database schema to use `MEDIUMBLOB`
for schema storage, preventing data truncation and ensuring large, complex JSON-
LD payloads remain intact and valid.

Excellent plugin – very fast, well coded and great UI !!Its feels very very clinical
in how things can be targeted, which is always nice as opposed to the scattergun
method I have seen other plugins implement. I have data OCD so this is a godsend!
