• When i enable the rating box for a review type, i run into an issue that is found on google structured data. No errors or warnings, but i did notice that the “itemReviewed” > “name” is automatically set to the page title somehow. I am NOT reviewing my own review, i am reviewing the item within the review.

    I have checked the documentation and the only place where i can define the item(thing) i am reviewing is within the review schema. This is giving conflicts because google now thinks i am reviewing two different things. Therefor i disabled the review schema, and am only working with the rating box.

    So my main question: Where can i define “itemReviewed”, when using the rating box functionality? / Avoid the auto-filling of wrong information (the page title)

    Steps to reproduce:

    Create page > rating box (enable) > fill in required rating box info > test with google structured data tool

    Below code is whats showing in the HTML after enabling the rating box.

    “itemReviewed”:{“@type”:”Organization”,”name”:”Admiral Markets ervaringen | Review door een forex daytrader”}

    1.What triggers the type to automatically be organization?
    In my case this needs to be a “service” type.

    2.Why does it automatically fetch the page title under “name”?
    In my case this needs to be the name of the service, not the page title.

    Your plugin has some good options, but without being able to modify the above i will not be able to use the rating box. I dont understand why noone else seem to have noticed this problem.

    Edit: after disabling Yoast compatibility it now uses the text input from “Review Title”. In your plugin “headline”, “(review) name”, and “(itemReviewed) name” are all set to either Yoast meta title, or the manual user input within rating box field “Review Title”.

    There should be a second and third textfield for the user to define both “(itemReviewed) name” and “(itemReviewed) type”.. What do you think?
