    Hello,

    Please try adding the following code in the functions.php file of the theme or in a custom plugin:

    function amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page( $metatags ) {
    if ( is_front() || is_home() ) {
        return array();
    }
    return $metatags;
}
add_filter( 'amt_schemaorg_metadata_footer', 'amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page' );

    It should stop adding schema.org metadata on the front/home page. Please let me know if it works as expected.

    Also, thanks for your review. Much appreciated.

    Kind Regards,
    George

    Hi. Welcome. And Thank you for this code. It is working. But it is breaking my theme sidebar and layout.

    Hi, this is strange. I cannot think of any way in which it could cause such an issue. The code returns an empty array so the plugin prints nothing to the page… Could you please check if there is any other related customization of add-meta-tags in the functions.php file of the theme?

    Hi,
    See this is my function.php file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw44Pb1XK4b3SHdHNEtIbmxRMzg/view?usp=sharing

    On a second thought, even the existence of other customizations could not possibly affect your theme.

    hm. I deactivated SEO by Yoast and Jetpeck and tried your code. But no changes. I’m confused.

    Wow, that’s a lot of code! ?? I cannot locate any filter hook prefixed with amt_ (the Add-Meta-Tags prefix), so no extra Add-Meta-Tags customization exists in that file.

    And admin bar also disappeared. It’s showing white blank space. See the screenshot – https://i.imgur.com/eh7DE8S.jpg

    The plugin adds the following code to the front page:

    <!-- BEGIN Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
<!-- Scope BEGIN: WebSite -->
<span itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/WebSite">

</span> <!-- Scope END: Organization -->

<!-- END Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->

    Adding it in a sample minimal HTML document as shown below and running it through a HTML 5 validator shows that the added code is 100% valid. So its removal could not possibly affect the rest of the theme.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<body>

    Used this HTML 5 validator.

    I have no explanation about how this could possibly be happening by using the the sample code I posted earlier..

    Could you please completely log out, clean your browser cache and try visiting your website again while the code I posted earlier exists in functions.php?

    Also, I’d highly recommend testing the code with a default theme.

    This is only happening when i enable Automatically generate and embed Schema.org Microdata. (Experimental feature)

    I’m not sure, why it is happening.

    Plugin Author George Notaras

    (@gnotaras)

    Regarding the layout, could you please describe in more detail what I should be expecting to see?

    Also, could you please check using one of the default themes, eg twentyfifteen, and provide some instructions about how to reproduce the issue and what I should expect to see?

    Can you confirm that the issue starts to appear when the code I posted earlier is added to the functions.php file? If the code is not added, is your web site’s layout in tact?

    Anyway, George! I fixed this problem ??
    I used this code

    function amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page( $metatags ) {
     if ( is_home() ) {
        return array();
    }
    return $metatags;
}
add_filter( 'amt_schemaorg_metadata_footer', 'amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page' );

    instead of

    function amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page( $metatags ) {
    if ( is_front() || is_home() ) {
        return array();
    }
    return $metatags;
}
add_filter( 'amt_schemaorg_metadata_footer', 'amt_schemaorg_skip_front_page' );

    The only change is i deleted is_front() || from your code. And it works.

    Thank you so much ?? I really appreciate you ??

    I see. Due to the way the microdata is added by the plugin, your content is enclosed in an extra div element when the schema.org generator is enabled.

    If your CSS tries to match the content’s div element using the element hierarchy instead of using the content’s div ID or class, then matching it would be impossible and thus no style could be applied, which would make the theme break.

    Using the JSON+LD schema.org generator would be a solution, but thius is a very new feature and the code is not mature enough. If you use it in production, please make sure you check your pages thoroughly.

    George
