# JSON-LD missing from HTML

* I think I’ve discovered a bug with Rank Math (version 1.0.241).
* I have a post type of “person” and a number of “person” posts that I had not
configured the schema type for, so by default were all schema type “Article”.
I went in to the Rank Math “Titles & Meta” for that post type and changed the
schema to “Person”. The posts reflected the new type in the admin interface when
listing the posts, but the respective application/ld+json script was completely
missing from the public HTML for each one. I verified a few times after clearing
down all caches – same issue.
* The only way I could get the missing tag to show in the HTML was by editing each
post, going in to the Rank Math panel > Schema and editing and re-saving or removing
and re-adding the “Person” schema type. Simply saving the post was not enough
to get it to come back.
* Adding a new “person” post and the JSON-LD is also completely missing again by
default. I notice that “Schema” shows as “Off” next to the post in the admin
interface in this case, yet I have configured this post type to be of schema
type “Person”.
* Something that might be related is that in the admin interface the Schema shows
as “person” (lowercase “p”) yet when I edit the post and re-save the schema details
or remove then re-add to get it to work it shows as schema type “Person” (uppercase“
P”).
* Edit: Just checked my other websites that have the same post type and they are
all affected (different plugins and page builders in play).

* Another possibly related issue: I have “Titles & Meta” > “People” > “Headline”
set to “%title%” yet when viewing the schema details of an individual person
post the placeholder is “%seo_title%” and does not inherit the default values.

* Hello [@jamieburchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieburchell/),
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. This isn’t a bug. This is the default
behavior of the Schema module when you select any Schema type other than Article
for a post type. The Article Schema doesn’t need to be filled, as it can automatically
get the details from the post. The rest of the Schema types need their fields
filled out manually and that’s why they are not applied to the post unless you
edit the Schema in the post editor and use the Save for this Post option. Hope
that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance
with anything else.

* Hi [@rankmathsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rankmathsupport/)
* That doesn’t make any sense.
* What is the purpose of setting the default options in “Titles & Meta” > “Person”(
post type) > “Headline” etc. if they are not carried through anywhere?
* It also doesn’t explain why new posts of type “Person” are showing as “Schema:
Off”.

* Hello [@jamieburchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieburchell/),
That is because the schema (except the Article) requires information to be manually
added. This will make sure your posts are initially valid in the Rich Results.
If you wish the Person schema to be fully automated, you can set up custom fields
to accommodate required fields and make use of our Schema template instead which
is available in the PRO version. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you
have any other questions.

* [@rankmathsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rankmathsupport/) What
about the second part of my question and screencast where adding a new person
shows “Schema: Off” by default, when it should be Schema type person?

* Hello [@jamieburchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieburchell/),
The Schema will show off unless you use the “Save for this post” option in the
Schema editor and save the post, as the Schema isn’t saved for the post in the
database unless it is edited and saved. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate
to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

* [@rankmathsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rankmathsupport/) Is that
a recent change because I have an existing list of person posts that I have not“
saved the schema” for and they are showing as schema type “person”. If I add
a new post, it shows as schema type “off”. If I edit the schema it shows as schema
type “Person” (capital “P”).

* Hello [@jamieburchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieburchell/),
This isn’t something new. Please confirm if you imported the data from another
SEO plugin. That could be the reason that the old posts have the person Schema
without saving it. Looking forward to helping you.

* Hi [@rankmathsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rankmathsupport/)
* The data was not imported from another SEO plugin, it’s a fresh install.

* Hello [@jamieburchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieburchell/),
Sorry for the confusion. The Schema type should be shown even if you haven’t
used the “Save for this post” option. However, it won’t be applied to the post
without saving it. To check why it isn’t working on your site, we will have to
take a closer look. Please get in touch with our development team at [support@rankmath.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/json-ld-missing-from-html/support@rankmath.com?output_format=md).
Looking forward to helping you.
