How can I add a custom JSON script to ONLY the homepage header?

How can I add a custom JSON script to ONLY the homepage header? (I prefer to use one of my custom, magic SEO JSON LD scripts than use the Snippets plugin)

I am using Stack = Renew, already have child theme installed.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thnx!

Hello @giveitlegs,

Thanks for writing in!

How can I add a custom JSON script to ONLY the homepage header?
Since the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

function add_json_script(){
  if ( is_home() ) : ?>

    // Add your JSON script here

  <?php endif;
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_json_script'); 

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Hmm. It did add it, but it adds onpage below the tags when I go to inspect it in the console. Google Structured Data Validator didn’t pick it up there… which is also odd, because usually it does (even if it’s in the body)…

Hello @giveitlegs,

We can make it as a priority. Have the code updated and use this:

function add_json_script(){
  if ( is_home() ) : ?>

    // Add your JSON script here

  <?php endif;
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_json_script', 5);

Hope this helps.
