    @tidus457,

    Your site is showing that “fancy” meta data because somewhere in your plugins or theme there is Schema code installed:

    https://schema.org/

    It can help with SEO or usability, but if you don’t want it showing then you need to find out what is calling that code in your site and disable it.

    Thanks for your quick and helpful answer!

    I have disabled breadcrumbs for the website (they were not very relevant anyway as most articles are in several categories) and sent one page for reindexing in webmaster tool. I will see what it gives!

    Thanks again!

    @jejani thanks for referring me to this thread.

    I disabled all my plugins and the schema remained, so it’s not my plugins.

    It appears to be my theme, I’m using the Epik theme which is a child theme that runs under the parent Genesis theme. I checked both editor files for both themes but couldn’t find any mention to “schema.org”.

    However when I view source I see several schema.org mentions such as this

    <body class="home blog logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support custom-header header-full-width full-width-content epik-black" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage"><div class="site-container">

    What should I do from here? Thanks very much.
