    Hi there, I noticed today an email notification about this error: Missing field “mainEntity” in the google search console. How can I fix this? I use the Yoast Free SEO plugin and no other tools. The latest version, of course, as I have found some posts to upgrade Yoast plugin, should fix the error, but no success.
    I have selected the QA Page type for this page:
    https://www.mastercharter.com/charter-luxury-yacht-croatia/
    and thats the only schema error I am getting?

    I tried update-ing Yoast, seo optimize function but no success?
    thanks in advance

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    we are planning to pay for a commercial versions of YOAST seo, but if someone could address this problem for now I would be thankful? @yoast team?

    @johnniek2 We understand that you are receiving the ‘Missing field MainEntity’ warning from Google Search Console for this page https://www.mastercharter.com/charter-luxury-yacht-croatia/

    This issue occurs when the output for a custom schema type is incomplete. We see this error common when you edit a post or page and change the schema settings from the default and set it to FAQPage, but the content does not contain a Yoast SEO FAQ block.

    When you use the Yoast structured data blocks, our plugin automatically modifies the schema output to reflect the data within the blocks. To confirm, we suggest that you please check the URL to ensure that a Yoast structure data block matching the selected schema type has been added to the page.

    If you haven’t already, you can add the Yoast FAQ structured data block and then try to retest it in Google’s Rich Results Tool and see if the error resolves accordingly. If you are using a page builder we recommend you to change the Schema from FAQPage to WebPage to fix the error.

    another question is: if Iam using wp bakery page builder and I switch in settings to gutenberg to add a yoast FAQ block that isnt working? so the block is there but the page doesnt get validated? sorry for all the questions but its confusing as I dont find anywhere if yoast blocks only works if gutenberg only and no other page builders?
    thank you

    I am facing the same issue in Q&A page.

    Hi @johnniek2

    No, you don’t need the premium version of Yoast SEO. It’s expected that if you’ve set a page as a ‘QAPage’ in the schema settings in the Yoast SEO plugin, and it is missing the appropriate schema, then this would explain the warnings or errors you are receiving.

    We do have support for the FAQ block and HowTo block. You can learn more about it here – https://yoast.com/help/selecting-content-types-in-schema-settings/

    We know that our Yoast structured data blocks would work with the default WordPress block editor, however, we aren’t sure how this interacts with the page builders and if the schema output would still show. You might want to test it out. We do know that the Yoast SEO plugin is compatible with the Elementor page builder.
