Double slash in WPML translated schema

Hello,

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

As you’re using the WPML, please install the WPML SEO glue plugin as well (if not yet). It’s available on your WPML Downloads page: https://wpml.org/compatibility/2021/04/wpml-seo-plugin-better-integration-with-seo-plugins/

Once done, please remove the current WooCommerce Product Schema from that page and re-add it from the Schema Generator and see if that resolves the issue.

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

Thank you.

Hello,

The integration between Rank Math and WPML may not be configured properly before the after the Woocommerce Product schema has been added to your products. However, I can still see the double slash is still in the affected product’s schema.

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.

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:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

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.

Hello,

Our plugin adds a trailing slash to the seller ID in the Schema markup for the products and since your website already has the trailing slash in the home URL it gets added to it and the slash is repeated.

This is only happening on that particular property and since it’s an ID that is used to connect the markup it won’t cause any issues because the website will still product compliant markup.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

The page you shared has a redirect in place as you can see from this screenshot:

The redirection is being handled by the WPML plugin installed on your website as you can see from the header redirected-by on the screenshot.

Regarding the canonical, this won’t cause any issues since the canonical doesn’t have any double trailing slashes as this only happens in the ID of the seller property which is not usable by Search Engines but rather only usable by our plugin for internal Schema management.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

Thank you for the screenshots to illustrate the issue and provide further context to it.

When you referenced the page with redirect we thought you were talking about the referring page where the URL was found, which also has a redirection that is set up by WPML as you can see from the image we shared previously.

To remove the trailing slash from these sorts of URLs, you can change line 73 of the file wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/schema/snippets/class-product.php to read the following:

'@id' => $site_url,

This will remove the double slash from the language URL in the ID of the Schema markup and it will prevent any search engine from seeing it.

We are also going to report this internally so that our developers can improve this piece of code in the future.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

For now, it will be reverted back to the original state upon updating the plugin but we have already added this feature improvement to our repository for our developers to assess it.

When they do, then it will remain correct with every plugin update and when that happens we’ll notify you of the same in this ticket.

Thank you.

Hello,

Glad that helped.

If you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime to assist you further.

Looking forward to helping you.
