Author schema on posts

Hi – we have had the paid version of PublishPress authors for more than a year, and we are trying to add “author” schema information to our individual posts.

This page suggests that it is automatic with Yoast SEO: https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/schema-data-for-authors/

“If you have the PublishPress Authors plugin installed, plus either Yoast or Rank Math, the schema data will be available automatically. No configuration is needed. The author schema data will appear in two situations: On individual posts. On author pages.”

But it doesn’t appear to work for us even with Yoast SEO.

The only author information on the individual post appears to be the PublishPress author display name (For example: “author”:”Dr. Linda Simon”)

Is there a step that we have missed to display author schema on individual posts – for example not just author name, but titles, expertise or credentials, author page URL, etc. Basically this info: https://publishpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/author-schema-data.png

We have installed a Schema Plugin to display the Author schema on custom author pages: https://seniortailwaggers.com/team/dr-linda-simon/ (However it’s a schema that is manually added to the page and not linked with PublishPress Authors).

I’m not sure if we are missing something: ideally the PublishPress Author would be linked to a set of schema attributes that would then be displayed both on the author page and on their individual posts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
