SEO Integration
When Yoast SEO or Rank Math is active, NCR can expose relationships as internal links and add schema references so relationships are visible to search engines and SEO tools.
Supported plugins
- Yoast SEO — detected via
WPSEO_VERSIONorWPSEO_Options - Rank Math — detected via
RANK_MATH_VERSIONorRankMathclass
If neither is active, NCR does not add SEO-specific output.
Internal links
NCR filters post content (the_content) to add internal links based on relationships (e.g. related posts). This helps SEO and discovery.
- Filter:
naticore_seo_internal_links— you can modify or disable the list of links before they are applied. - Behavior: Relationship data is passed to the SEO layer so related URLs can be included in internal linking logic.
Schema (structured data)
- Yoast: NCR adds graph pieces via
wpseo_schema_graph_piecesso relationship data can appear in the schema output. - Rank Math: NCR hooks into
rank_math/schema/validatedto add relationship references.
Details depend on the SEO plugin’s schema API; NCR integrates so that relationship context is available for Article, WebPage, or custom types.
Use case
Sites using Yoast or Rank Math get:
- Better internal linking from relationship data.
- Optional schema representation of relations (e.g. “related to” or “part of”) for rich results or SEO tools.
No configuration required; enable an SEO plugin and NCR will hook in when detected.
