 * hello
    I’m using Breadcrumb NavXT v6.4.0
 * yoast schema.org is disabled in my site with
    `add_filter( 'wpseo_json_ld_output','
   __return_false' );`
 * I checked the source and it only shows:
    div class=”breadcrumbs” typeof=”BreadcrumbList”
   vocab=”[https://schema.org/”&gt](https://schema.org/”&gt); <!– Breadcrumb NavXT
   6.4.0 –> ….
 * Google schema.org test site indicates error and a warning for
    BreadcrumbList
   for ALL my pages/posts: author The property author is not recognized by Google
   for an object of type BreadcrumbList.
 * tag
    The property tag is not recognized by Google for an object of type BreadcrumbList.
 * In the schema code of NavXT there is no author nor tag.
    So where does it come
   from? Only NavXT is handling schema.org BreadcrumbList
 * how do I fix it?
    Thanks

 * I’d have to see the actual page’s HTML markup to diagnose this. Off the top of
   my head I can think of a couple of reasons this is occurring. The first is if
   you have other Schema.org markup that is invalid for some reason and is confusing
   the Google parser. Another is if you are mixing RDFa and microdata formatted 
   Schema.org data, apparently Google’s parser doesn’t like that either (which is
   one of the reasons why Yoast moved to using JSON-LD).

 * hello
    How do I globally disable NavXT schema? I wish to use another plugin to
   handle all schema attributes Is there a ‘add_filter’ code to do this? Thanks 
   a lot

 * You will need to do the following:
 * Remove any references to `itemscope`, `itemtype`, `vocab`, and `typeof` from 
   the HTML elements wrapping the call to `bcn_display()`.
 * Remove all references to `itemprop`, `itemscope`, `property`, and `typeof` in
   the breadcrumb template settings.

      Reason: removed formatting as it's broken

 * I apologize, I’m not a programmer so I have no idea how to implement your suggestion.
 * If I remove what you wrote from the template setting will it not remove the breadcrumbs
   from the pages/post, etc?
 * I want NavXT breadcrumbs in my site but WITHOUT it being listed in the schema.
   org which will be done with a different plugin.
    Current status is that NavXT
   injects schema.pro code to any page and only this I want to disable.
 * the injected code is:
 *     ```
       <!-- NavXT Breadcrumbs plugin -->
       <div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://schema.org/">
       <!-- Breadcrumb NavXT 6.4.0 -->
       <span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><a property="item" typeof="WebPage" title="TITLEofPOST" href="https://www.site.com" class="home"><span property="name">HOME</span></a><meta property="position" content="1"></span> > <span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><a property="item" typeof="WebPage" title="TITLEofPOST" href="https://www.site.com/category/cat1/?post_type=any" class="taxonomy category"><span property="name">diy</span></a><meta property="position" content="2"></span> > <span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><a property="item" typeof="WebPage" title="TITLEofPOST" href="https://www.site.com/category/cat1/cat2/?post_type=any" class="taxonomy category"><span property="name">NAME</span></a><meta property="position" content="3"></span> > <span property="itemListElement" typeof="ListItem"><span property="name">NAME</span><meta property="position" content="4"></span><!-- END NavXT Breadcrumbs plugin -->

 * You need to find where `bcn_display()` is called in your theme, then, you will
   need to replace `<div class="breadcrumbs" typeof="BreadcrumbList" vocab="https://
   schema.org/">` with `<div class="breadcrumbs">` (and save your changes). After
   doing that, in the Breadcrumb NavXT settings page, you will want to replace all
   of the breadcrumb templates with something like `<a title="%title%" href="%link%"
   >%htitle%</a>`.
