Getting error FAQ Missing field “mainEntity”

Hello @tipsstar

Thanks for reaching out about your FAQ pages. When you go in to edit the pages, in the schema tab of the Yoast SEO meta box can you let me know what page type you chose for each page?

following this thread since I have the same issue.

but after researching, i have changed the page type to FAQ page from default. but let me know if this is enough to resolve the issue of missing main entity. Thanks!

Hi @maybellyne

When I edit the posts I get no schema tab. Don’t know if I am missing something. However, in the main settings of Yoast SEO in the Search Appearance tab I got the following:

Knowledge Graph & Schema.org Learn more about the knowledge graph setting

Choose whether the site represents an organization or a person. I has chosen Organisation but the name was blank. I have not put a name. Now I have entered a name and saved the changes. Is this required?

Also I want to confirm that I am using just Yoast SEO FAQ block in my normal blog posts.

Hello @tipsstar

The Yoast SEO meta tag output in your page source seems off, and it’s surprising you don’t have the schema tab in the Yoast SEO meta box when you go to edit posts. Please try the following steps to perform a conflict check:

• Install the the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. The plugin will permit you to perform a conflict check by deactivating plugins and switching themes. Doing so will not affect the SEO of your site, and your visitors will still be able to view your site as usual.
• Verify you have a default WordPress theme such as?Twenty Twenty-Two. If not, please install it.
• Activate the troubleshooting mode in the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin.
• While in troubleshooting mode, activate only the Yoast SEO plugin and the default WordPress theme
• Check that you have schema tab and set the Page type to FAQ Page

Do let me know how it goes.

@mnppdt28 If the page is designed with the Yoast SEO FAQ block and you set the Page type to FAQ Page, you shouldn’t receive the error.

Ok I got it. Updated wordpress and that solved the issue. Thanks for your help.
