    Hi,

    since the update to v16.5 Google Search Console is listing an error regarding the schema markup BreadcrumbList. “name” is empty and in general I am not sure if the code is correct.

    "@type":"BreadcrumbList",
"@id":"https://www.huppenkothen.com/en/buy-and-rent/excavators/tb290-2#breadcrumb",
"itemListElement":[
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":1,
        "name":"Huppenkothen GmbH",
        "item":"https://www.huppenkothen.com/en"
    },
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":2,
        "name":""
    },
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":3,
        "name":"TB290-2"
    }
]

    Any ideas how to fix it? I read all the other threads and https://yoast.com/help/breadcrumb-changes-yoast-seo/ but couldn’t find a solution yet.

    And I found another instance of the BreadcrumbList but I don’t know where this is coming from. My guess would be woocommerce (?). This implementation is correct and looks like the older version of yoast’s implementation.

    "@type":"BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement":[
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":1,
        "item": {
            "name":"Home",
            "@id":"https:\/\/www.huppenkothen.com\/en"
            }
    },
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":2,
        "item":{
            "name":"Excavators",
            "@id":"https:\/\/www.huppenkothen.com\/en\/buy-and-rent\/excavators"
            }
    },
    {
        "@type":"ListItem",
        "position":3,
        "item":{
            "name":"TB290-2",
            "@id":"https:\/\/www.huppenkothen.com\/en\/buy-and-rent\/excavators\/tb290-2"}
            }
]

    thanks

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We understand that Google Search Console is reporting a warning saying that ‘either name or item.name should be specified’.

    The Yoast SEO plugin takes the name from the page name. In this case, it could be that the name is missing from your front page. Can you please check the page you’re using as your front page and make sure you’ve added a title to this page?

    If not, does adding the title resolve the issue?`

    Hi,

    the page name is “Excavators” so it should work. Take also a look at my second code sample. There the name is correct but yoast seems to have its problems with it.

    Hello,

    We’ve checked with our developers and in-house SEO experts, and they’ve confirmed that this is not an actual error being reported by Google’s Rich Results and Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool.

    We’re aware of the reported errors you’re currently seeing in the Google Search Console, SEMrush, and Ahrefs site audit due to the Yoast SEO schema markup for the breadcrumbs.

    Our development team is currently working on enhancing the breadcrumbs schema output to bring the relevant missing properties back. This fix will likely be available in the next update i.e. v16.6 update. Please also do refer to this article regarding the breadcrumb changes we made in v16.2 – https://yoast.com/help/breadcrumb-changes-yoast-seo-16-2/
