Hi there,
Where are you trying to add that code?
The files in the theme editor are PHP, so you can’t add non-PHP into them easily without opening and closing PHP tags.
You can try this code instead:
add_action( 'wp_footer', function() {
?>
Your code in here
<?php
} );
Then add the code using one of these methods instead of editing the core theme files: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
HI, and thank you so much for your reply. I did as you suggested but got this message:
Don’t Panic

},
“offers” : {

}
}
</script>
<?php
} );
Also, you asked before where I was adding the code, in the header theme editor. Is this the correct place? I’m trying to add structured data markup using Google recommended JSON-LD.
Still trying to understand why I can’t.

Hi, ok so I can make a plugin and add your
functions (your code you suggested I use) to the plugin file?

It’s likely easier to use a plugin like this: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/code-snippets/
I did use this plugin but it was not effective and I got this message instead:

I tried adding your code again and it did not give me an error, which is great. How do I know that it works? When I run the Google structured test tool, the same error shows that prompted me to try to add the code to the themes editor originally so I’m not sure that I have been able to resolve the original issue in the end.
Seems Elementor does not support schema markup yet so there is an error that Google shows and prevents the markup. I was hoping that adding the code directly to the themes editor would be a workaround.
Thoughts?
And thank you for your help!

What’s the error you’re getting that’s prompting you to add that code?
This is a screenshot of the error from the Google Structured Data Tool:

What do you think??
sorry, meant to include this one as well:

Can you take a screenshot of the actual warning? It looks like it’s further down the page.
Let me know 🙂
HI, here is a screenshot of the actual warning.

So this is happening because GeneratePress uses the CreativeWork name to be as compatible as possible with all content.
Something in your content is using reviewRating, which isn’t compatible with CreativeWork.
The part of your content that is using reviewRating should have a container which sets the itemtype as something that’s compatible with reviewRating.
You could make it so GP doesn’t use CreativeWork and uses something compatible with reviewRating, but doing this will likely cause more errors, as your content will be missing other required things.
How are you adding the element that’s set as a reviewRating?
Elementor Technical Support told me that I had to remove the Star Rating widget. but this would remove the website reviews. The error you see in the Google structured tool is basically all the text on the landing page.
?
