Please note that I’ve had the plugin set for Person since it was installed over a year ago. I never input any extra info though until it was suggested to add a logo in this thread.

Google only started to complain about any of this after upgrading to 16.5.

I have now done the following several times:

– Changed to Organization and saved (nothing to remove since nothing was ever set).
– Cleared all caches I think – are there any internal WordPress cache I need to clear as well?
– Switched back to Person and saved. Nothing added, no logo at all.
– Used Yoast Test Helper plugin to ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’ (such as suggested above).
– Start SEO data optimization to rescan the content.
– Cleared Varnish Cache & CDN.

The problem is still there!

Google Search Console complains about 4 pages so far:
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=6SdIonRDBkZUBSsP-uYvZw
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=zhNoNMyqTI53ASYXijj9LA
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=idNHht30OjYQP1yaSRkoug
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=cYnAQFjneXIr2jAge_FsxQ

Example of pages that works:
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=NxXuX1S66Pz6xwmTO4Ri9w
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=zsOpjJmFT5mASekyuT6T1g

Thanks

@mikes41720 Thank you for continue to investigate this!

Post that works properly:
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=6TcEkaw8guhEV8kyjsODyQ

Notice there is no logo field at all (I removed the logo).

Logo:
As I mentioned before, I removed the logo completely again because it lead to more errors such as “Target URL domain is outside the website URL domain” for the Search field on category pages. I can upload it again if you really need it but would prefer to keep the errors down if you can do without.

I believe the Gravatar URL is the default after removing my own?

BTW, my webhost is one.com and I have contacted them as well about this in case the error was due to their plugin for Varnish cache (it has also been updated recently). They doubted it was.

I believe this might be another user on one.com with similar issue here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/sitelinks-searchbox-unnamed-item/

@maybellyne Yes

My host uses a Varnish cache-server that replaces all image url’s with it’s url starting with https://usercontent.one . However, url’s to pages should still be https://bengansblogg.bengan.com.

Something with the latest update seem to confuse this?

I have now removed the logo again and re-indexed SEO so now the Target URL domain is outside the website URL domain problem seems to be gone.

BUT, the Missing field “url” is still there on some posts. Example of posts with this problem:

https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=BeLAgyKdKsXn-POgVmaM2A

https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=DGEaLJKkwc2KLDc4bkx92A

I don’t understand why some posts have it and others are fine?

@mikes41720

Now I’m getting even more errors!

– Target URL domain is outside the website URL domain
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=WEx0UDN3prPCY89nqy_FLg

– Missing field “url”
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=A9csM5hivFFRGMojqNQbtA

What’s going on?

@mikes41720 I’ve done what you suggested and reset the SEO index.

Unfortunately, it did NOT help.
Still get the same error on many posts that I have tried.

I also tried to edit and update a post but the error is still there.

– When you say “uploaded an image for the respective person logo/avatar” you mean the Image under SEO → Search Appearance → Knowledge Graph & Schema.org only, right? There is no need to add a Gravatar image under WPs account settings?

@devnihil Thanks for replying!

I have always had it set to Person. Double checked and saved again, also uploaded an image (there was none before).

Now the error seems gone on one NEW post but for some reason it remains on OLD posts like the URL i posted above?!? Search Consol also refuses to validate that page saying that it is not fixed.

I have cleaned server caching and CDN but the error is still there on that URL.

BTW, if I look at the output from https://search.google.com/test/rich-results under Logo it says both:

type Person
type Organization

Is that normal?

I’m using this:

https://www.rankwatch.com/tools/mobile-friendly-check.html

Yes, it is not enough for Googles test to complain.

– However, another problem that actually makes Googles search consol complain is if I use the small “descriptive text” below several images in a post. Then Google marks the url as NOT mobile friendly witch 2 errors: Links to close & Text too small.

See image here (I hope posting url is ok): https://bengansblogg.bengan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/texttoosmall.jpg

Googles complaint (now fixed): https://bengansblogg.bengan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/googlecomplain.jpg

This makes me think that the combination of clickable text to close in the Meta & the small descriptive text under images is enough to ‘tip the scale’ and make Google complain?

Thanks.

@manishverma Well, I found a work around:

– Disabled Main menu – Layout – Full Width Main Navigation
– Enabled Header – Layout – Full Width Header
– Changed Header Layout to Vertical – Center

That gives me almost the same result with no scrollbar but the menu is now centered.

I would still prefer to have the menu aligned to the left of the container but this is good enough for now ??

Also, I think the logo is now displayed at 100% 1140 pixels, before it was slightly smaller.

Thank you for responding!

However, I can’t find a way to register on your site since I only use your free theme and I think an account is needed for a support ticket?

It definitely seems to relate to the full width menu, if you scroll sideways you can see only the menu area overflows the page width slightly to the right.

Some settings I have:
– Disabled both Name and slogan in header.
– Full 1140 width header image (container width at default 1140)
– Set header to vertical – Left
– Set all header Logo padding to 0
– Main menu – layout set to Full Width Main Navigation
– Added .entry-content a {
text-decoration: underline;
} to Extra css

Thanks
