    Hi there,

    I am using Yoast SEO verison 12.6 and WordPress version 5.3

    I used the FAQ block in one of the articles.

    I am getting an Error while checking with Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool, https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

    publisher	
    @type	
    Thing
    @id	
    https://example.com/#organization
    	
    Error: Thing is not a known valid target type for the publisher property.

    There are three instances of this error.
    Could you have a look?

    We’re sorry that you are experiencing problems that might be caused by our plugin!

    Just to be sure, we would like to rule out any plugin or theme conflicts that may occur. The fastest way to do this is to?deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme?like?Twenty Nineteen.?

    Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check?without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process:?How to check for plugin conflicts.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the replying very late.

    The code is valid in the Google Search Console, but when I test it using Google Structured Data Testing Tool, then I am getting above error.

    Sure,
    Can I send you a Personal Message?

    I think the issue is with the “Article” markup. Could you suggest how can I modify settings for the “Article” markup?

    Any helpful article is also good to go.


    Best,

    The Publisher and Author are a type of Thing.
    They should be a type of Organization and Person respectively.

    I think that’s the only issue. Could you guide how to fix that? I am getting the following result at this moment.

    If required, I can send you email with all details.

    
    publisher
    @type	Thing
    @id	https://example.com/#organization
    
    author	
    @type	Thing
    @id	https://example.com/#/schema/person/53590b93d826333461851b

    By default, Yoast SEO will output author as a person type and publisher as an organization or person (depends on the setting selected) type. If your site outputs them as a thing type, we’d suspect that something has either changed the behavior or the output is not from Yoast at all.

    Does the line/section where the error occurs start with <script type='application/ld+json' class='yoast-schema-graph?

    Yes: Something (a setting, another plugin, missing information, etc) is different between your site and our test environment.

    No: The schema is not output by our plugin or one of our add-ons. A conflict check will help identify what plugin (or theme) adds the schema.

    Yes, it starts with

    let me check with developers in this case.
