Schema.org or Structured data integration

[walkoffhomerun]

trying to get the sliderpro gallery set up to work with schema.org / structured data but i cant get it to work. *** Google is basically hinting that everything needs to be JSON-LD or structured data very soon and those that are not will not be displayed in searches very high so this is important to try to figure this out.

most of the examples online for this integration shows slider galleries using the LIST style setup but sliderpro does not use list as its structure. when i plug in what i think should work the slider images disappear. schema.org markup is SUPPOSED to be extra markup that does not affect the scripting but in my case it appears to do that. My guess is the extra markup is messing up the div classes in the slider pro css files.

i would prefer to do all of this with the JSON-LD markups instead of the schema.org markups because the JSON-LD is only a single set of scripting in the footer and you do NOT have to markup your HTML or div containers like the schema.org system requires. Plus, JSON-LD is the method Google recommends so it's both a ton easier and cleaner to integrate and it's what Google recommends. However, JSON-LD does NOT have a way to integrate image slider galleries. I think there might be some work arounds to getting it to work with JSON-LD so I wanted to post here to see how i can get sliderpro image galleries to work with either method
