Schema and Snippet Help

Support
#1

I’ve been trying to implement Article schema and just can’t get it to work. Yoast seo and Snippet both do the organization and logo etc. but really looking for Articles.

My goal is to get Rich Cards but using Snippet I can’t even get a post to validate for Article structured data.
I setup snippet to only output article data but nothing is working.

This is my page…

Hi @clefler,

Thanks for writing in.

May I know some specific issues you’re getting? Like error or optimization recommendation from your analysis tool. I checked with google rich snippet tool and I don’t find any issue.

Thanks!

there are no errors, but there is no “article” item, only an hentry
should look like this, no?

Hi @clefler,

You’re right, even itemscope isn’t there. Would you mind turning off your optimization first? I see your site is served through cache and minified. Then please provide your admin login credentials in a secure note.

I can’t troubleshoot Yoast related issue, but I will troubleshoot if the Snippet related plugin.

Thanks!

So I unistalled Snippet and tried Schema Plugin. It definitely works and was able to validate the NewsArticle item in the validator tool. It also works with Yoast to not provide duplicate markup. However, I did notice that it removed the organization item from the post I referenced.

The Schema plugin has many more options for types of structured data but all I really care about is what is best to get Rich Cards for posts on my site.

I have deleted Schema plugin, installed Snippets again, disabled my cache plugin and I now see hentry (0 errors), organization (0 errors) AND article (1 error, 1 warning).

Sooo that is very close!

Here is the validation output…

Hi @clefler,

It should have something like this or similar

"mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://www.unitedfaithchurch.org/highway-to-god/" }

Would you mind providing your login credentials, I like to check your Snippet setup first. You may check this as well for the logo error https://synotive.wordpress.com/2016/12/20/how-to-fix-the-most-common-a-value-for-the-logo-field-is-required-amp-error-in-wordpress/

Thanks!

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. I have logged in and supplied the site identity icon as illustrated in the given link. You may check your structured data again.

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi, I didn’t see any changes. But I was able to upload a logo to Snippet inside the post editor and I had to list a page entity. Those two things cleared the error and the warning (once I lowered the size of the logo).

But I have a few concerns:

  1. It looks like I have to do this for every post
  2. Snippet has fields to fill out in every post editor just like Yoast Seo does, isn’t there duplicate things going on then?

I ended up disabling snippet because I get cards in mobile for my articles but the chances of getting cards on the desktop or pretty slim I think and not worth the trouble.

Thank you for the help though!
