 * Hello James,
 * Thanks for reaching out about your FAQ page.
 * The error occurred because the page was not designed using the Yoast FAQ block
   and the page type ‘FAQ page’ needs to be set in the Schema tab of the Yoast SEO
   meta box when you edit that page. You can learn more at [https://yoast.com/how-to-build-an-faq-page/](https://yoast.com/how-to-build-an-faq-page/)

 * Hi Maybellyne
 * The respective page is designed using the Yoast FAQ block and the page type ‘
   FAQ page’ is set in the Schema tab. Still we are facing this issue.
 * There is no option to attached snapshot otherwise I could have share it.

 * Hello James,
 * The page is not created using the Yoast FAQ block but an accordion for FAQs which
   probably is controlled by your theme or a third-party plugin.
 * You can use any image-sharing service to share screenshots like [https://pasteboard.co/](https://pasteboard.co/),
   [https://snag.gy/](https://snag.gy/), [https://imgur.com/](https://imgur.com/),
   [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/), or even upload the screenshot
   to your own website. Once you upload it to an image sharing service, please share
   the link to the image here.
