Search Console Showing Critical Warnings

  • Hello, I installed the plugin v 7.1.0) on a newly-launched site (https://contentmanagementcourse.com/) and left all the default ‘out-of-the-box’ settings as they are.

    When I run a test schema on any of the site’s URLs, I get critical errors showing up like:

    Either "name" or "item.name" should be specified (in "itemListElement")
    Invalid URL in field "id" (in "itemListElement.item")

    Detected items: Unnamed item
    1 critical issue
    Missing field “itemListElement”
    type: BreadcrumbList

    Almost all of the fields in the settings section contain “itemListElement” e.g. Main Site Home Template = <span property="<strong>itemListElement</strong>" typeof="ListItem"><a property="item" typeof="WebPage" title="Go to %title%." href="%link%" class="%type%" bcn-aria-current><span property="name">%htitle%</span></a><meta property="position" content="%position%"></span>

    I’m not a techie but I can follow instructions. How do I fix this to get rid of those critical errors?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Double check your category templates, it appears to have property="BreadcrumbList" on the wrapping span which is incorrect. It should be property="itemListElement". Google’s Rich Results Test isn’t super helpful in pointing out what is wrong, unfortunately, but that looks to be the issue. Also, it appears you have a truncated/incomplete JSON-LD BreadcrumbList in your header which Google’s Rich Results Test doesn’t seem to like either.
