Update in case anyone is experiencing the same: I had to go into Customizer > Colors and set the Scheme to “Custom” in able to adjust link color. This fixed it.

I have this Custom CSS code:

a {
color: #8ec43b;
text-decoration: none;
}

a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
text-decoration: none !important;
}

If I add “!important” to the line “color: #8ec43b;” then the link color changes back to the desired color but it does so in all places – including the header and menu, where I need a different link color that is set via the customizer.

Thank you – the bug got resolved by the next Frontpage update which was released on the day of my post!

Thanks kind stranger, I was able to solve it!
A google search on that CSS piece led me to this thread here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/storefront-version-2-5-4-mess-my-sites-initial-display/

It’s an issue related to the storefront-theme’s latest update and it can be fixed with a little bit of custom css as explaned in the other thread.

Issue solved, thank! ??

Thanks!
So that means that I have an active plugin creating the MPN field?
I checked the entire list of plugins and couldn’t identify anything that might be causing it.

Are you sure that WooCommerce doesn’t create an MPN field by itself? (see screenshot) Then i might consider tracing the problem to the Germanized plugin, which is the only active plugin i could imagine could create the MPN field.

Thanks, John! I already realized that ??

If I assigned an MPN to the individual products, it should show up in the code without buying an additional plugin, right? sku and the other parameters work just fine since the WooCommerce Update in November fixed some schema errors caused by a previous update. only the MPN doesn’t get delivered and i don’t understand why.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your reply! The link you posted should resolve the issue – HOWEVER unfortunately i am lost in the WooCommerce settings ??

WooCommerce ? Settings ? Product Feeds simply does not exist in my backend! In WooCommerce ? Settings I find a tab lables “Products”. This one has 3 more sub-tabs – “General”, “Stock” and “Downloadable Products” , but there are no settings regarding the MPN or GTIN there.

My WordPress is in German and I am using a plugin called Germanized which is essential to adjust the store to European laws. In the Germanized-settings there is nothing about the MPN either. And the plugin shouldn’t remove other settings entirely…

Any idea why the tab could be missing?

Thanks a million for the help!
If anyone else enconters the same error, i highly recommend trying the fix above. Just add the code to the functions.php (i used the plugin Theme Customisations for that) and the errors should be gone.

Thanks for the hint ??
I just checked a couple of pages and all the errors seem to be gone! warnings remain, but they don’t stress me out so much. hope WooCommerce can figure out all the schema-stuff with the next update!

Thank you so much for the link to the other thread!
I tried the solution metioned there – i.e. adding this code to the functions.php:

function com_temp_fix_structured_data_review( $markup, $comment ) {
	$product = wc_get_product( $comment->comment_post_ID );
	$markup['itemReviewed']['aggregateRating'] = array(
		'@type'       => 'AggregateRating',
		'ratingValue' => $product->get_average_rating(),
		'reviewCount' => $product->get_review_count(),
	);
	return $markup;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_review', 'com_temp_fix_structured_data_review', 10, 2  );

I already ran the error-fix-checker in the Search Console but it will take some time until Google crawles all the products pages again. I will update here whether the errors disappear or not ??

@rtddev Thank you for the reply!
I have been able to fix the brands-warning, but not the errors concerning “offers”, “review”, or “aggregateRating.

Actually, the link that you shared does not offer a fix for that?!

At the end there is a link to the discussion here, which basically also says we have to wait for the WooCommerce 3.8 Update:
https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/24862

Please tell me there is a fix so all the hard work we put into getting the products to rank on google won’t be in vain until WooCommerce gets its head around releasing that update?

Hey there! Thank you for your reply, and for the link! I am glad to hear the developers are aware that the error has reoccured and that they are already working on a solution.

If anyone happens to know if the above mentioned fix is still supposed to work for the time being, please let me know!

Thank you, and sorry for posting into the wrong forum.
I will try it over there ??

Thank you for the reply!

The Required Confirmation option was turned on (I had found and checked that before), but the Mailing List didn’t require double opt-in. That fixed my problem.

Thank you so much!

This sounds great, thank you for the fast reply! Let me know if you need any more info from my end!
