Author Schema Description

    Hi. I want to add a Schema description to author. I’ve followed your article: https://rankmath.com/kb/author-schema-entity/ and set up everything as it says (e.g. for an author I went to author page and manually edited the meta data, description), but when I check the source code, the “description” has not been added.

    Can you, please, help me configure this?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    The Description for the authors is added to the author profile page – not the posts published by the author.

    On your website, the author archives seem to be disabled and are getting redirected to your homepage.

    Author pages are available on URL like this:
    website.com/author/stanislav/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello.

    RE: The Description for the authors is added to the author profile page – not the posts published by the author
    How to show the description on each author’s page? Provided you with the example.

    RE: On your website, the author archives seem to be disabled and are getting redirected to your homepage.
    Author archives are enabled, no problem here. We just have several authors and all the posts are under a certain author. Provided you with the link.

    Hello,

    Since you have already added the meta description via the SEO snippet editor, the description should now show up on the Author pages. However, I can’t seem to find it on one of your Author pages.

    Can you please clear your website cache and check again?

    Please note that the current status of your author pages are noindex in the robots meta so the meta descriptions here are no longer visible to the search engine.

    With that said, if the issue persists after clearing the caches, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    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):

    Hi.

    I need to add “description” tag to Schema to be shown up on each post. So at the bottom of an article I want to see an author box with a description. And that description should be added to Schema.

    What we have now: author boxes show up on posts and author pages but when I check out the source code, I don’t see Schema description added. So visually I see them but they are not in Schema.

    I noindexed author pages to avoid duplicate content. For me it’s not a problem since my goal is to add Schema description tag to individual articles, posts.

    I have already provided you with all the necessary links and even a real-life example of what I need.

    Hello,

    I’ve checked your site, and it seems that you’re currently using Yoast.

    However, to achieve that, then you may need to use and customize this filter to extend the schema applied to your post and include the author description in the schema:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hi. Thank you. I switched to Rankmath like 2 years ago.
    Can you tell me how to add the description tag to Schema so that it will be presented on each individual post?
    Please, see the example post.

    Hello,

    The default Rank Math schema does not add person/author descriptions to schema. You will have to create custom code to add the author description. The guide linked in the previous reply contains sample code for adding custom schema (https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#extend-json-ld-data). If you cannot customize the code snippet, you will have to get help from a third-party developer as creating custom code is beyond the scope of our support.

    Please let us know if you have questions.

    Thank you.
