Hi,

I just recently lost my rating serp on this page https://www.topdownreviews.com/avocado-mattress-review-green-organic-bed/ and I believe it’s because my comments section for xtheme has review schema on it.

If you run that page through https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool you can see that the comment by anglea is registering as a review and I believe screwing up my serp. Is this something that Xtheme does?

Thanks so much!
Chris

Hi Chris,

X using the default WordPress commenting system with some added style and it’s pretty simple. I think it’s being treated as review because of the title or content.

Thanks!

I’m not exactly sure what you mean since there is definitely custom schema added to the the comments section to make it read like that in the structured data tool. I guess what I am trying to figure out is if xtheme adds this schema or its one of the plugins I am using?

Thanks
Chris

Hey Chris,

Actually there is no such schema added by X. You can check the code for comment from x/framework/views/icon/wp-comments.php. I guess it’s being added by any plugin. I suspect “WP Performance Score Booster” as it supposed to do such thing.

Cheers!

[Chgrim]

Perfect! Thanks so much. I will investigate to which plugin is doing it.

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

So I did a test on this on my testing site http://www.chrisgrim.com/2017/03/15/zippered-clutch-purse/ and discovered even with all of my plugins turned off I am still getting the review schema for the comments section. ( I have turned the plugins back on now so I can keep tweaking things.)

Are you sure Xtheme isnt adding this code?

<h2 class="h-comments-title"><span>Comments <small>1</small></span></h2>
    <ol class="x-comments-list">
          <li id="li-comment-2" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"class="comment byuser comment-author-Chris bypostauthor even thread-even depth-1">

Thanks
Chris

Hello Chris,

Thanks for updating in! To resolve your issue, since you already have your child theme active and ready, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_icon_comment' ) ) :
  function x_icon_comment( $comment, $args, $depth ) {

    $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment;
    switch ( $comment->comment_type ) :
      case 'pingback' :  // 1
      case 'trackback' : // 1
    ?>
    <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
      <p><?php _e( 'Pingback:', '__x__' ); ?> <?php comment_author_link(); ?> <?php edit_comment_link( __( '(Edit)', '__x__' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?></p>
    <?php
        break;

      endif;
      if ( x_is_product() ) :
        $comment_time = sprintf( __( '%1$s', '__x__' ), get_comment_date() );
      else :
        $comment_time = sprintf( __( '%1$s at %2$s', '__x__' ), get_comment_date(), get_comment_time() );
      endif;

          edit_comment_link( __( '<i class="x-icon-edit" data-x-icon=""></i> Edit', '__x__' ) );
          ?>
        </header>

  }

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Hi,

Ok this is weird. I tried adding that code to my site http://www.chrisgrim.com and it worked but when I added it to my site http://www.topdownreviews.com it didn’t. Could it be conflicting with something on topdown?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

Kindly provide us with the admin and FTP credentials to the site where the code is not working so that we could check it.

Thank you.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! Since you have installed a caching plugin WP Super Cache, please clear your plugin cache before testing your site. This can cause the changes to not take place on the front end. It will eventually show up when the cache regenerates, but it’s not ideal if you’re looking to see your changes immediately. Caching plugins are best to turn on only when you’ve finished building the site.

Please let us know how it goes.

[Chgrim]

Hmm it seems to be working, sorry about that! I thought I did clear the cache.

Thanks so much!!
Chris

[Christopher]

You’re welcome.
