Hello. I have started getting an error from google for my shop category pages from the JSON data generated by the schema plugin. The error is:

Unparsable structured data: Invalid top level element ‘array’

Google then shows this code here as the cause:

<script type="application/ld+json">[[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]]</script>

Directly before this in the header is detailed schema info. Eg:

<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"CollectionPage","headline":"My Category Name","description":"My description...","url":"","sameAs":false,"hasPart":[[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]]}</script>

If I disable Schema plugin, then the error disappears. But the obviously, there is no schema data for the page.

This is only happening on category pages (using Shopp plugin for the shop side of things).

If there is no known way to fix this, then is there a way that I can disable the schema plugin for specific taxonomies (ie the shopp_category in my case)?

I am using “Schema Pro” plugin and everything is ok.

Hi,
We are using the plugin and have gotten the same error messages in google console on some category pages and on several sites.
Here is one page that comes up with error on Google Search Console: https://www.billiga-tester.se/bli-gravid-paket/clearblue-testset/

This bit of code is highlighted as the fault (Element string not valid):

“,[],[],[],[],[],[],[]]</script> <script data-cfasync=”false” type=”text/javascript”>/* <![CDATA[ */ //<![CDATA[

I am not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

We are having the same problem.

Have you managed to resolve this issue?

No response from the developer, yet? I don’t think it will be hard to fix once it’s actually addressed!

The top level array I see is an array of empty arrays. And just like the rest of you, disabling the plugin removes the error – but this is not an option.

I hope the developer takes a look at what is being generated because Google loves to change up the way they do things and errors can hurt results if they linger too long.

I’m getting this error also for category pages on Google Search Console – but when I check the URLs on Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool (https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool) there are no errors or warnings. I’m using Schema plugin v 1.6.9.8.2.

Does anyone know if this affects overall SEO on the site? Or just the URLs with errors?

I was able to disable it for a specific taxonomy by doing the following:
```
add_filter('schema_wp_output_taxonomy_enabled', function() {
  if( is_tax('taxonomy') ) {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
});
```

Hi Hesham,

Here are the most recent issues on the site I manage – still getting ‘Unparsable Structured Data > Invalid top level element “array”‘
https://www.matcor.com/productscategory/reference-electrodes/
https://www.matcor.com/productscategory/tank-anode-systems/
https://www.matcor.com/productscategory/linear-anodes-product/

Search Console reports 16 total similar links as an issue (all category pages on the site).

Would love to clear it up.

Thanks,
Dana

Hello before upgrading to premium. I need a solution to issues with your plugin. I’m having errors on my product categories pages. Google search console: “Unparsable structured data” “Invalid top level element “array””

Here are my product catagories:
https://www.nuvape.net/product-category/batteries/
https://www.nuvape.net/product-category/cartridges/
https://www.nuvape.net/product-category/usb-chargers/
https://www.nuvape.net/product-category/accessories/

All these pages have this error
Here is an example of the code:
<!– This site is optimized with the Schema plugin v1.7.6 – https://schema.press –>
<script type=”application/ld+json”>[[],[],[]]</script>
Please help!

I think I got fixed, can you please delete the plugin from your site, then install a fresh copy from here at wp.org?

P.S. I’ve updated the plugin files, however this won’t trigger an update in your dashboard.

Please, confirm.

Yes it worked for my site. nuvape.net
I deactivated plugin, then deleted it. I left the “Delete Data on Uninstall?” unchecked in advanced options.

Do we need Schema markup on category pages?

Thanks

Thanks for confirmation.

I am not sure how important it is, but it seems to have some positive results since it’s mentioned in Google guidelines (see part: multiple elements on a page).

P.S. The Schema Premium plugin has a Schema for WooCommerce extension, which does more complete schema markup for Product and categories.
