    Hello,

    I acquired a website and I noticed that in addition to the Yoast article schema applied to each blog post, the previous owner also added additional schema mark up code manually to each article/blog.
    Is that necessary and can I delete that additional schema added manually given the fact that Yoast adds article schema?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,

    Hi @asen85

    Upon checking the page you’ve referenced, we do see that the Yoast SEO schema graph is outputting in line 30 (when viewing the page source), and there’s also other code from other plugins or themes (line 73, 101, 141, 202, 213, 328, 334, 731) that is outputting its own schema.

    We checked it in Google’s Rich Results Tool here, and while it is valid, there are duplicate outputs (with warnings) for the ‘Article’ piece.

    We would recommend that you review the additional schema and check if you can remove it, as the schema output from just the Yoast SEO plugin should suffice, but you might also want to review on the other schema pieces if you would still like to use them (that isn’t being outputted by the Yoast SEO plugin) by referring to the integration guidelines here to ensure it’s compatible with our schema output – https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/integration-guidelines/

    Thanks for your answer.
    Since the other Schema is also the “Article” type I don’t see a reason to keep both. So I will remove it and leave only the Schema that Yoast provides.
    Thank once again!
