Course Schema Error

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the Course Schema errors in Google Search Console. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

The “Missing field ‘offers'” and “Missing field ‘Coursehasinstance'” errors can be resolved by ensuring that the necessary fields are properly configured in the Course Schema.

To resolve the “Missing field ‘offers'” error, you need to ensure that the course includes information about any offers or discounts associated with it. This can be added to the Course Schema markup.

As for the “Missing field ‘Coursehasinstance'” error, this indicates that there is an issue with the instance of the course. You need to ensure that the Course Schema includes information about the instances of the course, such as start dates, duration, and location.

If you are using Rank Math, you can configure the Course Schema settings by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Courses and ensuring that all relevant fields are properly configured.

If you need further assistance with resolving these errors, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to this issue.

The missing “offers” and “hasCourseInstance” errors are because certain essential details are missing from the Course Schemas you applied to the Course pages of your site. Kindly fill out relevant entries in the Course Schema and then test your pages using this Rich result test tool from Google as changes on your site will not be reflected immediately on Google: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

You can check this article from Google on the Course Schema and its requirements:https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/course-info

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thank you.

Hello,

In the PRO version of the Rank Math plugin, we have an advanced editor option to edit your Course Schema. However, as you’re using the free version of the plugin, you can use the following filter on your website to add those missing properties on your website:

add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_course_entity", function( $entity ) {
    // Offer
    $entity['offers']['@type'] = 'Offer';
    $entity['offers']['category'] = 'Paid';
    $entity['offers']['priceCurrency'] = 'EUR';
    $entity['offers']['price'] = 10.99;

    // CourseInstance
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['@type'] = 'CourseInstance';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseMode'] = 'Onsite';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['location'] = 'UK';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['@type'] = 'Schedule';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['duration'] = 'PT5H';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['repeatCount'] = '4';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['repeatFrequency'] = 'Weekly';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['startDate'] = '2023-08-01';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['courseSchedule']['endDate'] = '2023-8-31';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['instructor']['@type'] = 'Person';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['instructor']['name'] = 'Kai S.';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['instructor']['description'] = 'Professor at X-University';
    $entity['hasCourseInstance']['instructor']['image'] = 'http://examplePerson.jpg';

    return $entity;
});

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Please make sure to change the properties according to your website.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
