How do I fix the (Either “name” or “item.name” should be specified) error?

@zelihacanderengul We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

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?

a name already exists, but still this issue has not been resolved yet. There is no problem on the main page, but this problem persists on subpages such as page/page/3.

Hi,

Upon checking the specified page again, it looks like there isn’t any Yoast schema outputting anymore. You’re also currently on v15.9.2. Did you downgrade the version of the plugin? Please do update it to the most up-to-date version of v16.4 so we can check on this further – https://yoast.com/help/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/

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/

Hi, I’m with the same issue.
My front page has a title and my plugin is the last version.

How can I fix it?
