URL and logo url errors in Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool

    When I run The Structured Data Testing Tool on my site, I get two errors “value provided for url must be a valid URL”. The URL and the logo url are both missing the “http:”. I checked the logo entry in the general settings and it is complete with http: and I have no control over the site url as far as I can tell.

    Here’s how the markup comes out:
    <script type=’application/ld+json’>{“@context”:”http:\/\/schema.org”,”@type”:”Organization”,”url”:”\/\/www.ironmaster.com\/”,”sameAs”:[“https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ironmasterstrength\/”,”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/IronmasterPro”],”@id”:”#organization”,”name”:”Ironmaster, LLC”,”logo”:”\/\/www.ironmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/im-logo.jpg”}</script>

    How can I fix this?

    Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Sixteen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or theme.

    If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts

    Thanks for the reply. That seems to be the answer to any problem in WordPress. I understand plugin conflicts, but this site has a lot of plugins and this issue is so specific to the yoast seo functionality, I thought someone had come across it before or maybe it was a simple configuration setting issue or something. I couldn’t find any other posts or info about it. Assuming you are one of the developers or support reps for yoast, are there no other possible causes you can think of?

    I am one of the support team members. I recall seeing something similar when the WP Engine HTML post-processing (feature explained here) included #https://# => // on a users site as a temporary fix for the mixed content warning message when switching to https.

    If you’re not using WP Engine, you may have a plugin or server setting that interacts with the URL, perhaps makes protocol independent URLs, relative URLs, or converts URLs to https.
