    Hi there,

    The option “Use Yoast SEO markup?” in Schema > Settings > Knowledge Graph has some text next to it saying “By default, Schema plugin will override Yoast SEO output. Check this box if you would like to disable Schema markup and use Yoast SEO output instead.”

    I have both Yoast & Schema installed & toggling this option doesn’t seem to make any difference to the page output. Can someone advise what exactly this option does?

    Thanks in advance

    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    Both Schema and Yoast SEO are designed to cover specific SEO features, but in a different way. There is however some common features between both plugins.

    The good thing is; Schema plugin has some compatibility with Yoast SEO, this to save you the hassle of trying to figure it out yourself. So, the common feature between both plugins shouldn’t cause an issue, you got to choose which plugin does what.

    Schema plugin will detect Yoast SEO and tries override its output, this mainly happens on the front page and breadcrumbs of your site, this means most of schema.org that is in JSON-LD format should be covered by Schema plugin, for example:

    – Knowledge Graph
    – Corporate contacts
    – Sitelinks searchbox
    – Logos
    – Social profile links
    – BreadCrumbList

    However, Schema settings gives you control over which plugin should do it!

    Read more about this on this documentation page:
