 * Hi guys,
 * Just started getting the following error on an FAQ data thingy:
 * > A value for the mainEntity field is required.
 * Tried going into the Structured Data tool, and it looks as though all is fine,
   but Google insists that it isn’t.
 * What should I be adding into the mainEntity field to make it valid?

 * The Question and its answer appear in mainEntity for FAQ. The Data is missing.

 * Sorted – just binned the whole FAQ section.
 * Let me know if there’s a better way to do this.

 * Ok, so I set up the FAQ structured data again to see what this ‘mainEntity’ error
   is all about.
 * After adding ‘FAQ’ to the appropriate webpage, and then going down to the ‘Post
   Specific Schema’ settings to add a mainEntity to it, it appears that there is
   nowhere to add a mainEntity to an FAQ page – just ‘headline’, ‘tags’, ‘author’,‘
   datecreated’, ‘datepublished’, ‘datemodified’, but NO ‘mainEntity’.
 * So from my previous enquiry, where do I add the mainEntity to an FAQ page?

 * Also, after setting up the ‘VideoObject’ schema on three post categories, they
   remain invisible.
 * Seems to me that the documentation needs a hell of a lot of work doing on it!

 * Have given up with this plugin and moved to Schema Pro.
 * Thanks anyway!

 * I’m sorry Steve, I couldn’t reply because had a small fracture on my hand and
   couldn’t type.
 * I understand that you have moved to a different solution, but would you willing
   to help us fix this issue atleast for other people?
