  Can I cut and paste schema.org markup into a post so that it is recognized by search engines? I’ve tried to cut and paste markup into a post but the google structured data tester can’t see it. Here’s the tool I’m using to create the markup http://schema-creator.org/. By the way the markup it self tests fine.

  Thanks,
  Donovan

  Hi there,

  Can you please paste some of the markup for me here so I can see what it looks like? Paste it between backticks so any HTML is not rendered.

  Or otherwise, can you point me to a draft post where you used it?

  If it uses the shortcode like generated by the WordPress.org plugin it won’t work here as we don’t support that shortcode on WordPress.com, but if I can see exactly how the markup looks that you’re using I might be able to give a more definite answer.

  I’ve checked on this for you, and I’m afraid we don’t support that at the moment, but we do have an open feature request for this and I’ve added your request to that.

  We’re currently working on adding some new SEO customization options on WordPress.com, so hopefully this is something that will be a priority soon, though I can’t make any promises about that.
