 * Hi,
 * We have a warning in our Google Search Console and it is affecting 28 AMP pages
   currently. We tested structured data with the testing tool provided by Google,
   however, we cannot identify any error or issue.
 * According to Google, there’s an “error in required structured data element” (
   Google doesn’t specify).
 * The problem concerns only category pages like this one:
 * [https://www.russiandog.net/dog-reviews/all-russian-dogs/amp](https://www.russiandog.net/dog-reviews/all-russian-dogs/amp)
 * Please also view the Search Console warning screenshot:

 * Please advise.

 * We checked your issue. Your AMP page is valid. Like this: [https://prnt.sc/s5oy0c](https://prnt.sc/s5oy0c)
   
   Can you please add an article schema or news article schema on this category?
   And check once whether having the same issue or not. And let me know if the issue
   is resolved or not.

 * Thank you Ahmed,
 * Yes, it is valid with warnings.
    On our website, we use the “Schema & Structured
   Data For WP and AMP” plugin. Guided by the plugin’s manual, I have verified that
   the archive option is checked in general settings and have switched the schema
   type from BlogPosting to Article.
 * Unfortunately, it didn’t help, and Google still insists that there is an “error
   in required structured data element” on our category AMP pages.

 * Can you please tell me are you adding article schema or news article schema on
   the category?

 * I’m adding an article schema on archive pages in “Schema & Structured Data For
   WP and AMP” plugin’s general settings.
