Bad markup generated on FAQPages (JSON LD markup issue)

    Hello,

    As many people have reported since a few hours, we’re encountering an issue with the JSON LD markup generated by Yoast, when adding FAQ blocks on articles: Google’s Rich snippet testing tool reports “missing mainEntity field”.

    When digging further into this, it seems that the JSON LD markup that is generated by Yoast is invalid, and quite different from the expected format for a FAQPage entity.

    Specifically, it seems that the WebPage and FAQPage types are kind of “nested together” within a @type key: "@type":["WebPage","FAQPage"], with the required Question types being outputted after this entry.
    This behavior seems incorrect in regards to Google’s implementation guidelines.
    And this output is definitely different from that the markup looked like a year ago, when we first set up this WP instance.

    We are certain this is caused by the Yoast plugin, as:
    – No other plugin is currently enabled, besides Media Cloud (for images management)
    – We’re only using WordPress default themes (we even switched from Twenty Nineteen to Twenty Twenty-One, but no difference)

    Could you please look into that?
    Thanks
