Hello. We are currently receiving this message in our Google Search Console. I’m not entirely sure what it signifies. Could I get more clarity on this issue? Is there a solution? Additionally, I would like to mention that we have tried using multiple themes for the platform, but the same error persi…

Hello, hiccup! Structured Data helps provide search engines with more context, essentially. Google Search doesn’t find an optional url field in that topic. You can see on <a href="https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.askvill.com%2Ft%2F%25D9%2583%25D8%25B4%25D9%2581-%25D9%2585%25D9%2588%25D8%25A7%25D8%25B5%25D9%2581%25D8%25A7%25D8%25AA-%25D9%2587%25D9%2588%25D8%25A7%25D9%2588%25D9%258A-%25D8%25A7%25D9%2586%25D8%25AC%25D9%2588%25D9%258A-70-huawei-enjoy-70-%25D9%2588%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D8%25AA%25D8%25B5%25D9%2585%25D9%258A%25D9%2585-%25D9%2581%25D9%258A-%25D8%25A3%25D8%25AD%25D8%25AF%25D8%25AB-%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D8%25B5%25D9%2588%25D8%25B1%2F15984">validator.schema.org that it’s perfectly valid without any warnings. There is nothing to worry about. That said, if Google S…

As @Arkshine explained above this is not a bug but rather a suggestion from Google to add optional field in the schema. I’ll look into it.

From the other thread: [imagem] Google structured data for forums and profile pages Y’all can check your Google Search Console report, but when I go to https://search.google.com/search-console/r/discussion-forum and check my forum, I see this: [image] Why items are invalid: Either “text”, …

[imagem] Dan Fabulich: So, yes, “url” is optional, The itemprop="url" helps google to combine multiple Comment blocks on different URLs belonging to the same topic. [imagem] Google structured data for forums and profile pages Important: the itemprop url must point to the first page of the…

[imagem] Dan Fabulich: but there are actual genuine errors here, too. I tried to reproduce the errors you are seeing by testing meta topics in Google Rich Results Test , but I don’t see any errors. Can you provide a link to the topic for which Google is showing errors?

The first thing you should note is that the link you showed indicates that the link does not have Discussion Forum Schema. That link has “Breadcrumbs” schema only, no “Discussion Forum” schema at all. That’s happening because you’re testing the link in “smartphone” mode, and not in “desktop” mode. h…

I should point out, I think it’s an important bug in Discourse that the schema does not show up in smartphone mode. Google wouldn’t know to flag it (because Google only flags errors in schema that’s present), but smartphone crawling and indexing is the default for Google for years now, so it’s impor…

The issue described in first post plus some other issues has been fixed in this commit: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/d9ca6c3bb90c15d32b3f2ece1709522be65fb690 Thanks for the suggestions here @rrit ! :+1: [imagem] Dan Fabulich: To reproduce the critical errors, you have to test …

[imagem] Arpit Jalan: should we include first post on all the pages in crawler view to fix the schema issues? No I don’t think so, duplicating content never ends well, are there other options

[imagem] Sam Saffron: are there other options The other option would be to replace microdata schema with JSON-LD (which Google recommends ). This would decouple rendered data from structured data and will also work on mobile (as Dan pointed out above ). We’re already using JSON-LD schema in so…

Da outra thread:

Então, sim, “url” é opcional, mas também há erros genuínos aqui.
