 * Hi,
    I’m using the AMP official plugin and Yoast SEO on my site. recently search
   console warned me with the message “Error in required structured data element”
   in the AMP crawler(valid with warning). I contacted the AMP support forum, but
   they suggested contacting Yoast support. Would you please tell me how to solve
   the warnings?
 * Best regards.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-in-required-structured-data-element-43%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * We can see you have the Yoast SEO Premium plugin, we ask that you please send
   us a support email to: [support@yoast.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-required-structured-data-element-43/support@yoast.com?output_format=md).
   That way we can privately review the account and settings.

 * I have no access to your private support because I work for my clients and they
   will not give me private access. So I need to get help from this forum. Let me
   know if you are ready to help.

 * Hi,
 * No worries! We are happy to help resolve the issue here. However, we want to 
   let you know that if we are unable to solve the issue here we may need to ask
   you to have your clients send us an email so we can investigate the issue in 
   more detail.
 * We know you are having issues with structured data on the AMP version of the 
   URL. We would like some more information.
 * 1. Are all your non-Yoast plugins and themes also updated?
 * 2. Can you provide us with the AMP version of the URL?
 * 3. Can you let us know exactly what those Google warnings say? Can you copy/paste
   them into the reply?

 * 1. All the themes and plugins are up to date
 * 2. The amp version link: [https://www.google.com/amp/s/theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/](https://www.google.com/amp/s/theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/)
 * 3. The message is: “It is eligible for some AMP-specific features in Google Search
   results, but is not fully compliant with AMP best practices.”

 * Hi,
 * We went to [https://www.google.com/amp/s/theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/](https://www.google.com/amp/s/theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/)
   but we got redirected to [https://theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/](https://theshaverzone.com/panasonic-arc5-review/).
   See image: [https://ibb.co/7yznQnR](https://ibb.co/7yznQnR).
 * Yoast does output some data on AMP pages but without having access to a specific
   AMP we are unable to properly test.
 * However, Google’s AMP tester URL tool [here](https://search.google.com/test/amp?id=6WmVUK2nUR_AucZolK_LAg)
   shows the page is a valid AMP page and makes references to missing schema. See
   image: [https://ibb.co/C59Gggm](https://ibb.co/C59Gggm).
 * Note, the Yellow caution triangle in the image. If that is what you are also 
   seeing, then Google is alerting you that you have warnings (not errors) on your
   page. We have outlined those below.
 * We ran the URL through Google’s schema testing tool [here](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheshaverzone.com%2Fpanasonic-arc5-review%2F)
   and it shows two sets of warnings.
 * One set is for the Review schema piece. As Yoast does not output that schema 
   set we can only say to contact your eCommerce plugin author for more information.
 * The other set is from a HowTo piece. It seems that you are using Yoast to create
   that, so we will outline the warnings below.
 * _Missing field “totalTime”_
    The “totalTime” is a field in the How To block near
   the top that Google would like you to fill out. See image: [https://pasteboard.co/J5KxsOb.jpg](https://pasteboard.co/J5KxsOb.jpg).
   If it makes sense for your users to fill it out, please do so. If not, it is 
   OK to ignore it as these are only warnings rather than errors.
 * _Missing field “tool”_
    Yoast does not have the ability to output this data. 
   However, we thank you for suggesting a feature for the Yoast plugin. We recommend
   commenting on the feature request below, so you may be kept aware of updates.
   You may need an account in order to post.
 * You can see the feature request here: [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/13260](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/13260).
 * In the meantime, it is OK to ignore it as these are only warnings rather than
   errors.
 * _Missing field “supply”_
    Same as above for the “tool” issue.
 * _One of image or video must be provided_
    The warnings of: “One of image or video
   must be provided” are just that, a warning. Google is letting you know that it
   recommends that you add an image at each step. BUT you do not have to. This guide

 * You said the problem is happening because of your “how to” block and the review
   block from another plugin. If so, why this page also getting this warning? [https://theshaverzone.com/best-beard-trimmer/](https://theshaverzone.com/best-beard-trimmer/)

 * After lots of researches, I identified the main responsible. Actually, your FAQ
   block is not compatible with amp structured data.

 * Thanks for your investigation. However, we are not aware of such a confirmed 
   issue specific to the Yoast SEO FAQ block on the AMP. So, can you please confirm
   why do believe that the Yoast SEO FAQ block is incompatible with AMP pages so
   that we can understand the issue better?

 * It displays only 1 “ListItem” in the rich snippet tool. After removing your FAQ
   block and adding another 3rd party block, the posts are free of warnings.

 * Thanks for your clarification. Can you please confirm whether the warnings are
   related to the _missing field “tool” and “supply”_? If yes, it’s not a bug but
   a feature that Yoast SEO currently doesn’t have and a feature request currently
   open in our development repository to add support for these.

   require any further assistance please create a new issue.
