    Hey! Hope all is well.

    I have uploaded the file rank-math.php to the Theme directory but the validation is still not fixing things. Please can you confirm the URL we have included is correct?

    The code is below.

    Thanks


    <?php
    // Rank Math - removing error in Google Console
    add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld/search_url', function( $url ) {
    if ( 'en' === ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) {
    return 'https://www.gentlewench.com/?post_type=products&s={search_term_string}&lang=zh-hans';
    }
    return $url;
    } );

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    As per your screenshot in the previous ticket, I tested this website with the language parameter but the Sitelink Searchbox schema is already validating properly.

    Could you confirm if the error for this website is also shown on the language parameter?

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you.

    Hi Prabhat, thank you the reply. This is in relation to the Chinese language we have here https://www.gentlewench.com/?lang=zh-hans and the Search link – you can see the reference to the language in the code I supplied.

    Please could you check again? https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=SL0-tc9griKjAntvDuj4Fg

    Thanks

    Hello,

    The code is only for the /?lang=en search term. Please try this filter instead:

    <?php
// Rank Math - removing error in Google Console
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld/search_url', function( $url ) {
if ( 'en' === ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) {
return 'https://www.gentlewench.com/?post_type=products&s={search_term_string}&lang=zh-hans';
}
if ( 'zh-hans' === ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) {
return 'https://www.gentlewench.com/?post_type=products&s={search_term_string}&lang=zh-hans';
}
return $url;
} );

    Once done, clear your website’s cache and check again using the rich results test.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.
