Structured data issue in Yoast SEO plugin
-
We currently have some alerts sent from search.google.com regarding structured data:
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=pw6q_jL2pogK5vJC1e3K1Q
The issue is in structured data generated by Yoast seo plugin:
“breadcrumb”:{“@id”:”https:\/\/www.getamover.co.uk\/movers\/north-west\/blackburn\/#breadcrumb”},
Google reports that breadcrumbs should have different structure to be accepted by their schema parser.
Even in plugins documentation you have similar structure:
I believe this section should be updated according to breadcrumb schema:
https://schema.org/breadcrumb -> https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList
-
I’m refferencing to https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/functional-specification/#an-article-with-an-author-on-a-company-website documentation section.
As an example:
{
"@type": "WebPage",
"@id": "https://www.example.com/blog/example-article/",
"url": "https://www.example.com/blog/example-article/",
"inLanguage": "en-US",
"breadcrumb": {
"@id": "https://www.example.com/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/abc123"
},
"name": "Example Page",
"isPartOf": {
"@id": "https://www.example.com/#/schema/WebSite/1"
},
"datePublished": "2015-09-14T08:13:22+00:00",
"dateModified": "2019-03-28T12:46:37+00:00",
"description": "Example description"
},So here “breadcrumb” section is invalid. It should be a BreadcrumbList with different syntax.
On the page I provided report for we don’t use wp directly, but we take structured data from wp-api, while inside it is provided by yoast seo plugin:
$structuredData = YoastSEO()->meta->for_post($post->ID)->schema;
