Structured Data Issue – Hidden Code

  • WordPress in injecting a hidden </p> into my code.

    I have read past posts going back years on hidden code, but people seemed to have this everywhere on their sites. I only have this on one page after modifying the Schema code.

    I have Schema code on every page and have never had issues before when modifying the code.

    • I updated WordPress to 6.1.1
    • I deactivated Advanced Editor Tools
    • Installed and tried Classic Editor +
    • Deactivated Yoast SEO

    Nothing worked, so I had to totally remove the Schema code to resolve the Unparsable Structured Data error.

    Google Rich Results Test and Google Search Console finds the following:

    “datePublished”: “2019-12-19”,
    “dateModified”: “2023-03-01”
    }
    </script></p>
    <h1><span

    With the hidden </p>

    Removing the Schema code is not a solution. I’m worried this may happen on other pages after modifying the code.

    How do I resolve this?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    You cannot enter script code via the WP editor. It’s always prone to getting corrupted, just as you have experienced. Usually the best way to add structured data is via a SEO oriented plugin.

    If such plugins are not suitable for some reason, and the data needs to be within post content, you could create a custom shortcode or block that injects the code after WP has finished mucking about with the post’s content.
