How to remove comments in the schema for the homepage?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you confirm that you share the right website link? I cannot seem to spot the type of schema mentioned on the page source which is a bit odd.
You can however remove a particular schema type if it was added by Rank Math by making use of the following filter to unset the type in your functions.php file:

/**
 * Filter to Short-circuit Schema if a 3rd party is interested in generating their own data.
 * Replace $schmea_type with schema name like article, review, etc.
 * @param array $entity Snippet Data
 * @return array
 */
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_{$schema_type}", function( $entity ) {
 return $entity;
});

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the follow up.

It is not recommended to edit plugin code directly since the changes will definitely get lost once you update the plugin.
Please use this filter to modify a certain schema type and remove some properties that you do not wish to be present.
Here is an example to unset one of the properties:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_review_entity', function( $entity ) {
	
	unset($entity['dateModified']);
	return $entity;
}, 10, 1 );

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the follow up.

The rich snippet type is “Article” and thus you should modify the filter to the following:

function cleanup_blog_schema($entity){
	unset($entity['commentCount']);
	unset($entity['comment']);
	
	return $entity;
}

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', 'cleanup_blog_schema', 10, 1 );

Let us know how this goes. Thank you.

Hello there,

Apologies for the huge delay.

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
