Structured Data Issues – missing fields

    Hi.

    When I use the structured data testing tool, I’m getting a number of errors:
    A value for the name field is required.
    A value for the datePublished field is required.
    A value for the headline field is required.
    A value for the publisher field is required.

    Warnings:
    The dateModified field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
    The headline field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.
    The mainEntityOfPage field is recommended. Please provide a value if available.

    Is this a Yoast issue? Should I be using a different plugin to fix these errors?

    Thank you.

    Using Google’s structured data testing tool, we see that the markup with an error is outside of the Yoast SEO markup. This means that another plugin or theme feature has added the markup. Please contact the author or support team for the plugin/theme that adds this markup.

    I did a quick check and the demo of your theme outputs Article schema markup so it’s very possible that your theme is causing the issue.

    If you are unsure what plugin or theme adds breadcrumb markup, the fastest way to determine the plugin/theme is to?deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme?like?Twenty Nineteen.

    Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check?without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    When using the Health Check plugin, please view the source code in your browser and use this code in the structured data testing tool.

    As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process:?How to check for plugin conflicts.
