Structered data – WebSite error

I forgot to mention that I am using the Header and Footer Plugin and inserted the script for Google’s SiteLink Search Box at the bottom of every Page & Post and this script in the header of every page:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/true",
    "@type": "WebSite",
  "url": "https://www.yoursite.com/",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "SearchAction",
    "target": "https://www.yoursite.com/search?q={search_term_string}",
    "query-input":"required name=search_term_string"
  }
}
</script>

My site is JohnSearles.com so you can see how the SDTT marks my site.

Yes, the SiteLinks Search Box Plugin is now part of Yoast’s WordPress-SEO and has the same error as the Yoast does.

Hi @jsearles

I am also facing the same problem with search box schema code. I fixed the error in code with your suggested code. But now I want to add this to my website. As you mentioned in your answer to add code

OK – I tried to comment out lines 217 through 242 and that shut down my site. So I reinstalled WordPress-SEO to put the class-json-ld.php back to it’s original status.

Then I added this code to my functions.php in my child theme

add_filter( ‘wpseo_json_ld_output’, ‘__return_false’ );

Success! No errors messages now.
I need your help to add code.

I am using eleven40 child theme and Genesis. But I unable to find the existing code for application/ld+json. Please can you help me where I can find and edit this code

Thank You

@jsidea – I am not a WordPress professional, just a person with a little coding experience who is trying to get my sites to report well in Google’s Webmaster Tools. GWT told me I didn’t have any Rich Snippets, so I’ve been working on that. Apparently it’s important to Google. Be sure that you are registered with GWT.

Here are some links for you;

Google’s Structured Data Overview

JSON-LD Playground

A page with other GWT Tool Links (works if you have a site registered)

Here is the code for the Website and Search Term String

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/true",
    "@type": "WebSite",
  "url": "https://www.yoursite.com/",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "SearchAction",
    "target": "https://www.yoursite.com/search?q={search_term_string}",
    "query-input":"required name=search_term_string"
  }
}
</script>

Good luck. There are also plugins to add scripts to particular pages that could be useful for you.

@jsearles – Thanks for your help!

I find the isuue ! ??

You must go to plugins->editor -> WordPress SEO ->
find wordpress-seo/fronted/class-json-ld.php

And you must to add /true to schema.org

public function website() {
		$this->data = array(
			'@context' => 'https://schema.org',
			'@type'    => 'WebSite',
			'url'      => $this->get_home_url(),
			'name'     => $this->get_website_name(),
		);

public function website() {
		$this->data = array(
			'@context' => 'https://schema.org/true',
			'@type'    => 'WebSite',
			'url'      => $this->get_home_url(),
			'name'     => $this->get_website_name(),
		);

If doesn’t work
{search_term_string} must be the same in ‘query-input’ and in ?s=

$search_url = apply_filters( 'wpseo_json_ld_search_url', $this->get_home_url() . '?s={search_term_string}' );

			$this->data['potentialAction'] = array(
				'@type'       => 'SearchAction',
				'target'      => $search_url,
				'query-input' => 'required name=search_term_string',
			);
		}
	}

Sorry if something was incomprehensible, becouse I’m from Poland

Thanka @mateuszx3 and everyone else who contributed to solve the issue. Your suggested fix (add /true to schema.org in wordpress-seo/fronted/class-json-ld.php) was successful!

@tacoverdo (Plugin Author). Pls consider this fix for the next plugin version, as else things will result in an error again.

Cheers

Thanks to all friends! I have fixed the code successfully now there is no error.

no problem ?? set solved

Thanks @mateuszx3
It worked for me too.

Hi, I’m trying to fix this error on the wordpress-seo/frontend/class-json-ld.php file, but it’s “inactive”. I have the plugin activated. It looks like all my frontend php files are inactive as well.

How do I activate this? It’s preventing me from updating the file. Thanks!

It’s no matter
When I do something in this file or another in editor it’s inactive too but work’ s it not try by ftp

thank you mateuszx3! That worked!

Hi @mateuszx3

Thanks for your input – unfortunately it hasn’t worked for my site! The structured data test is returning the same 2 errors for WebSite – just now it says https://schema.org/True

I checked the {search_term_string} also. Both ‘query-input’ and ‘?s=’ were listed as {search_term} so I changed this to {search_term_string} for both but still the error remains.

May I kindly ask if you know why please? My URL is https://juxtalegal.com

Thanks.

I’ve just looked into this a little more.

If I copy and paste the source code into the Structured Data Testing Tool, all is fine. However, if I fetch the URL the old source code shows. Is this just a case of Google still reading the old code and so will update next time Google crawls my site?

If so – Thank you @mateuszx3! Problem solved (I think).

If not work set only search_term and tell me what is your search engine it is from theme or from Google
