Error specifying ‘name’ or ‘item.name’

@itons We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

We checked on your page in Google’s Rich Results test here and see that it is returning an error of ‘Unnamed item’, and we understand that Google Search Console is reporting a warning saying that ‘either name or item.name should be specified’.

The Yoast SEO plugin takes the name from the page name. In this case, it could be that the name is missing from your front page. Can you please check the page you’re using as your front page and make sure you’ve added a title to this page?

If not, does adding the title resolve the issue?

Thanks for your confirmation. We understand that there’s no error on the first page of the paginated archives. We looked at your website and were able to reproduce the issue on our end as well.

To see what’s going on, we’d like you to please perform a conflict check first. This will help us to identify the exact cause of the issue. The fastest way to rule out any conflict, is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty.

Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.

Thanks for your confirmation. We understand that it’s hard for you to share all the sites here at the public forum.

While we are not sure what’s causing the issue as we are unable to reproduce it on our end, if you’d like we can investigate the issue further for you. However, we are unable to do it here as this is a public forum.

So, if you have an active Yoast SEO Premium subscription or if you can consider buying one, we can investigate the issue further directly on your setup privately through email.

However, if you don’t wish to get the Yoast SEO Premium subscription, that’s completely fine. In this case, you’ll need to troubleshoot the issue further on your setup as we are literally out of any clue at this moment without taking a look at the setup. So, someone from the community might step forward as well who has experienced or familiar with the issue.

Thanks for your understanding!
