    Hi,

    I’m trying to filter out the Person schema and for some reason it’s not working. I am using the following line of code in my functions.php file and nothing changes.

    add_filter( ‘wpseo_schema_person’, ‘__return_false’ );

    However, if I use the following code the ‘webpage’ type is removed as expected:

    add_filter( ‘wpseo_schema_webpage’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Any idea what could be wrong here?

    Hi @kkow,

    You can use the wpseo_schema_graph_pieces filter to add/remove your own schema You can get more filter details here https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/api/#add-or-remove-graph-pieces.

    I hope that helps.

    I posted simillar question but was wanting to remove datePublished and got a differnt reply from Priscilla Chapman

    “Thanks for the question. We have updated details about the new way of changing the Open Graph metadata using wpseo_frontend_presenter here: https://developer.yoast.com/blog/yoast-seo-14-0-adding-metadata/.

    In the meantime, the wpseo_opengraph action that you may see in examples has been deprecated in 14.0, but full backward-compatibility should be coming in the 14.2 release.
    ”

    So, 2 people at Yoast SEO and both different reply. I think people will start switching to rank math soon

    Thanks Suwash, I must have been looking at the old documentation!

    For anyone else that may want to remove the “person” schema in the future this is the method that worked for me.

    add_filter( ‘wpseo_schema_author’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Kkow, do you know how to remove published date?

    Tried both

    add_filter( ‘wpseo_schema_datePublished’, ‘__return_false’ );
    add_filter( ‘wpseo_schema_dateModified’, ‘__return_false’ );

    No effect ??
