Question

I have a dumb Yoast question that neither Yoast, nor Google, nor any material in this group can quite answer. Based on Yoast's documentation, I should assume that posts on a website should have a custom "schema" field available in the plugin that generates the template for me. That does not appear to be the case across several posts of a client's site. Am I expecting the wrong thing? Or if I am, how do I troubleshoot this? As far as I can tell, I have enabled the required settings to allow for schema to be generated on the site.  

Answer 1

Is the block builder enabled? Also - which type of schema are you referring to? FAQ/How to or the standard company schema? [edit] If you’re trying to use the FAQ/How to it won’t work in the classic editor.

Neither, referring to article/blog posting markup. Pretty sure the block builder is enabled, gonna go check that now

I see a "block mode" for building out a post layout, but the current WP instance is before 5. 0 (when block mode was done by default). So the answer is, I'm not entirely sure

Answer 2

I've seen custom themes have this problem. We ultimately did a redesign.

This one is running the Infinite Childs theme, so don't think its custom in this case

@phospholipide guessing it has to do with design. Is there anything different about those pages?  

Answer 3

Different way I'd like to pose this. can someone share a screenshot with me (can be through DM rather than public thread) showing me where article/blogpost structured data markup lives on an individual post within WordPress? Just want to know if I am looking in the right place for the right thing

@phospholipide that's not available with Yoast.

@roadway Ahh, I must have misinterpretted something from Yoast's own documentation then, thank you for clarifying

@phospholipide no problem. They offer something similar with the premium local SEO plugin but it's not ideal for what you're trying to do. Rank math offers one that just does schema as an add-on which works decent even with Yoast.
