   Structured Data Testing Tool” so! everything is okay! exept the post type is 
   article while iam runing a games site! so i get some ideas from google search
   and i try to chnage the post type with this plugin: “
    Post Type Switcher” so!

   Data Testing Tool” like it shown in the picture! so any idea how to change this?

 * Hi,
 * Let me see if i understand what you are saying. in the google structured data
   testing tool you see URLs that say something like [http://www.yoursite.com/2014/09/06/post-name/](http://www.yoursite.com/2014/09/06/post-name/)?
 * you might be able to change this to [http://www.yoursite.com/game-review/post-name/](http://www.yoursite.com/game-review/post-name/)
   by selecting and editing custom structure under Settings > Permalinks in the 
   WordPress dashboard. in the custom structure field you would want to put:
    `/
   game-review/%postname%/` this will mean all your blog posts will go under the
   url yoursite.com/game-review/post-name/ where post-name will be the name you 
   give to the post.
 * If you want to go a little further, you could create a custom post type, this
   will allow you to tell WordPress that you are not writing posts, you are writing
   game reviews, and then Google will not mistake it for a news article (if thats
   what you are worried about)
 * The plugin you referenced allows you to switch between existing post types. So
   this plugin wont create new post types.
 * Consider creating a custom post type called ‘Games’ or ‘Game Review’ and make
   this custom post type similar to a Page or Post except now you can see it in 
   the URL as game and you will be able to use categories and tags for games, also
   people will be able to view an archive of game articles and optionally organize
   that archive by tag or category, and at the same time you could still use posts
   and pages if and when you need to.
 * to get started with custom post types install the plugin [wp-types](https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/)
   and read the WordPress codex on [Custom Post Types](http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Post_Types)
