Missing field “url” (optional) for Author

Hello!

This error typically occurs when there is a structured data output for both “Person” and “Organization”.

Can you please configure your settings under SEO → Search Appearance → Knowledge Graph & Schema.org (section) as follows:

• From the dropdown, please select either “Organization” or “Person”
• If you want to keep “Person”, then:
• Select “Organization” first, remove the organization logo and other previously entered details
• Click on ‘Save’
• Once you have created the “Organization” profile, then you can change it to “Person” and add there all relevant details
• Once this is done, you can request indexing again on Google

You can also find more details here: https://yoast.com/help/search-appearance-organization-or-person/

I selected “Organization” from the dropdown, fill out Organization name, uploaded Organization logo, and click “save”

then clear cache. google Rich Results Test still show “Missing field “url” (optional)” for Author.

Thanks for your confirmation. The relevant code snippet you shared with us isn’t generated by Yoast SEO but generated by the currently active theme. Yoast SEO only generates JSON+LD schema markup but the following code is something else:

<span class="td-page-meta" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><meta itemprop="name" content="SDTeam"></span>

So, we recommend you please reach out to your currently active theme support for further assistance on this.

We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.
