Hi @andysweet,
Thank you for your follow-up!
Since you’re manually adding a custom schema using RDFa and JSON-LD schema still exists on the page, I recommend using a filter to remove the breadcrumb elements from the AIOSEO schema output. Here’s how you can do it:
function override_aioseo_breadcrumbs_output( $data ) {
// Add some custom logic here if needed
// For example, if this is page Y and we are not customizing the breadcrumb, we can return the original data
return array_map(function( $item ) {
if ( is_array( $item ) && isset( $item['breadcrumb'] ) ) {
unset( $item['breadcrumb'] );
}
return $item;
}, $data);
}
add_filter( 'aioseo_schema_output', 'override_aioseo_breadcrumbs_output' );
This snippet will remove the breadcrumb item from the WebPage schema, potentially resolving the “Missing field ‘itemListElement'” issue in Google Search Console.
You can add the code to your site using a plugin such as WPCode (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/); we have an article on how to do so here: https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-the-wpcode-snippet-library.
Regarding the “Enable Breadcrumbs” option, this should not appear in your settings since you’re using version 4.8.1.1 (https://a.supportally.com/i/nSqONG), where this option has been deprecated.
As mentioned earlier, AIOSEO automatically adds breadcrumbs to the schema markup without requiring additional changes. So you shouldn’t worry about it.
Since this is present, you can enable the option to utilize the Breadcrumb Settings.
However, if you want us to look into this further, please contact us using our Basic Question form here: https://aioseo.com/contact/. We’d be happy to help.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I’d be happy to help!
Thanks.
