  • Hey @dealyouz,

    Thank you for using Yoast SEO.

    If you set the page to be a QA page, there needs to be a Yoast FAQ block on the page to fill the schema. Not having this will result in an incomplete/invalid Schema graph. Please refer to: https://yoast.com/how-to-build-an-faq-page/

    Just adding the FAQ block with your questions and answers would make the plugin output the correct information too.

    This thread was marked resolved due to a lack of activity, but you’re always welcome to re-open the topic. Please read this post before opening a new request.

    i think this in my case i can’t add FAQ block because my posts are discussions/forum is there any other way i can add “mainEntity” manually?

    Example:

    <html>
  <head>
    <title>How many ounces are there in a pound?</title>
    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "QAPage",
      "mainEntity": {
        "@type": "Question",
        "name": "How many ounces are there in a pound?",
        "text": "I have taken up a new interest in baking and keep running across directions in ounces and pounds. I have to translate between them and was wondering how many ounces are in a pound?",
        "answerCount": 3,
        "upvoteCount": 26,
        "acceptedAnswer": {
          "@type": "Answer",
          "text": "1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz).",
          "upvoteCount": 1337,
          "url": "https://example.com/question1#acceptedAnswer"
          },
        "suggestedAnswer": [
          {
            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": "Are you looking for ounces or fluid ounces? If you are looking for fluid ounces there are 15.34 fluid ounces in a pound of water.",
            "upvoteCount": 42,
            "url": "https://example.com/question1#suggestedAnswer1"
          }, {
            "@type": "Answer",
            "text": " I can't remember exactly, but I think 18 ounces in a lb. You might want to double check that.",
            "upvoteCount": 0,
            "url": "https://example.com/question1#suggestedAnswer2"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
    </script>
