    The problem with this turned out to be:

    • no featured image set
    • no logo url specified

    The fix is, ofcourse, to make sure all posts have a featured image, and that you have specified a logo url.

    Hi Jay,

    I just got this same set of errors.

    Do you know if the logo URL is simply the header logo url missing in the code, or is it directly related to something wrong with the post content throwing the error?

    The featured image error is more straightforward to me.

    Same google alert for me.

    I have that only for my category, but how to add image to categories?

    Same problem here, also in categories.

    In admin settings for the plugin under structured data do you have a logo and a default post image set?

    I just did – but still the same error. Here is what Google shows for one of the categories:

    “NewsArticle”,”mainEntityOfPage”:”https:\/\/casinoplusbonus.com\/888-casino\/online_gaming_jurisdictions_gibraltar\/”,”publisher”:{“@type”:”Organization”,”name”:”CasinoplusBonus”,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”url”:”https:\/\/casinoplusbonus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Logo_horizontal_white.png”,”height”:”50″,”width”:”350″}},”headline”:”Archived Posts”,”datePublished”:”2017-04-23T14:58:07+00:00″,”dateModified”:”2017-04-23T14:58:19+00:00″,”author”:{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”wpengine”}

    Why is a category set to NewsArticle? Try Webpage. Also what is the exact url because the one above redirects.

    Why is a category set to NewsArticle?

    Bcz that is a news category… ??

    I change it now to blogpost but that do not change anything with the error.

    All News categories are affected – here is on of them – the other u find in the menu… ??

    Its a problem on all categories and it appeared the first time after the update to Version 0.9.97.3.

    I thought it is maybe fixed with the new update to Version 0.9.97.5 but is it not. ??

    If you’ve got a lot of posts/pages with no featured images, then you can go to Advanced settings and check ‘Featured Image from The Content’.

    That ought to be a quick fix for this error.

    @jwbats

    Unfortunately not – the error is still displayed.

    Yerr I see it now for categories – I get similar issues on one of my sites. There are difficulties for both blog posting pages and categories. It is not easy to solve either because of the variations which are possible.

    With blog posting pages the type ‘WebPage’ is being used and in this case a default image is picked up and used. The page therefore validates but this is in fact not totally correct if you look at a well designed canonical page. For example, the way Genesis framework does it is to use ‘CreativeWork’ type. This is how the structured data should look for such a page

    https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo.studiopress.com%2Fgenesis-sample%2F

    The problem comes that if you do what Genesis does then there is no default image. An extra Webpage attribute would need to be defined with a default image.

    Basically, blog pages were not conceived as having AMP versions – they don’t have a featured image like a blog post or web page sitting at the top.

    With categories the same problem exists. However, it is not rendering WebPage with a default image – therefore it will not validate.

    It is worth remembering that Google has been clear that structured data whilst welcome is not mandatory for AMP pages. This problem shouldn’t be effecting AMP validation for example.

    Search console does not update in real time. You have to validate your AMP pages. Go to google and search for ‘validate amp pages’.

    I′am using the Google AMP Test.

    Hello Jwbats, Anefarious1, Pierreto, Nancy10199,

    Hope you are doing good, thank you for writing to us.

    With regards to your query, could you tell me what is the Current Version you are using? If you are using 0.9.97.5 could you rollback and check from which version you are facing the error and let me know about it? and may I know have you set the value here as shown in the Screenshot:

    Error appeared first on Version 0.9.97.3.

    Value is set – yes.

    Cheers
