Invalid object type for field ‘publisher’

Hello @aidanashby,

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

??That is a known issue and is fixed internally.

For now, you can also downgrade to the older version by following this tutorial:
https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#a-how-to-rollback-rank-math-to-a-previous-version

Once the fix is released, we will let you know.

Hope that helps.

Having the exact same issue, also a rollback doesn’t seem to fix this?

Is there any ETA for the update?

Hello @aidanashby

It seems like you already updated to the latest version of the plugin and that has fixed the issue:

Hello @brightidiots

Please update to the latest version, 1.0.48.2

That should fix the issue.

If not, please open a new support topic.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

hi it seams google is also showing that my website has “invalid object type for field ‘publisher’. netmajstor is there a way to fix this ? tx

I have the same issue with 1.0.48.2.

Google’s Rich Results test reports it as “invalid object type for field ‘publisher’

I have reverted to RankMath 1.0.47.1 which resolved the issue for now. Please fix, thank you.

Also the AMP-issue still isn’t resolved, getting the same error with new AMP-checks.

For anyone having the error: Invalid object type for field ‘publisher’ using the RankMath plugin.

Go to RankMath Settings > Titles and Metas > Local SEO. Change Person or Company to match the correct values. I had my website address as a “Person”, which is not allowed in Google AMP validation.

@wfz123 Mine’s already set to Organization

It is not about Organization, it is about what matches you as a person or a company. Try editing the value (change company name, or person name) and test again, clear cache/disable caching before checking

@wfz123 My website is a company website and I’ve never had the Person or Company field set to person, therefore there can’t possibly be any incorrect value cached.
