Two errors with Product and Review structured data after update to X6.0.1/WC3.2.6

Two problems with Woocommerce Product and Review structured data after update to X6.0.1/WC3.2.6, not sure which one is responsible for the Structured data output?

  1. Product Name and Description field are not supporting multilingual, they should be output using either __() or _e() functions.

  2. Google reports that the Review structured data is missing “The review has no reviewed item specified.” which I interpret to mean that the product URL (pointing to the reviewed product) is missing?

Could you tell if this is handled by the X Woocommerce extensions or if these are handled by “pure” Woocommerce code?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

  1. Would you mind providing your site’s URL and where this issue is happening? The theme and its templates are translatable.

  2. I will need to check it first, but given that it’s data structure (rich snippets) then it’s not related to the theme. Since what’s theme is displaying is just provided by Wordpress system.

Thanks!

Howdy, @mrboats!

Thanks for writing in and sorry to hear that you seem to be having these issues. After reviewing these items you’ve brought up, I feel that these are likely both something to do with WooCommerce’s side of things. We keep our template overwrites for WooCommerce down to a bare minimum (which you can see by going to /woocommerce/templates/ within the theme files), and none of those contain any references to outputting a product name or description, so we don’t have any control over wrapping that output with __() or _e() functions. As for the structured data item, this is again something that we have never really touched or updated since the development of the theme, so unless there is something more specific to go on, we haven’t updated anything on our end that should interfere with this. Perhaps the WooCommerce team would be able to better assist you with what might be going on for this situation and if they have any specifics for us to go on regarding the structured data, we will of course be happy to take a look into things.

OK, thanks. I’ll follow up with Woocommerce, this template business makes things always a bit hard to identify where the problem might lie…

Completely understand, @mrboats. It’s certainly a lot to keep up with and hopefully this gets you pointed in the right direction. If they come back with any sort of feedback on things that might need to be adjusted theme-side, we’ll be happy to look into those items as mentioned previously.

Cheers!
