Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with duplicate schemes on your articles in Rank Math. Duplicate schemes can impact your website’s SEO performance negatively, so it’s crucial to address this issue promptly.
Regarding your questions:
-
How is this possible?
Duplicate schemes can occur when posts or pages are duplicated in Rank Math. When you duplicate a post with existing schema markup, it results in an error because the Schema shortcode is also duplicated. This leads to the old post’s Schema being displayed on the new post. To avoid this in the future, ensure that you do not duplicate posts/pages with existing Schema Markup. If duplication is necessary, you can remove the particular Schema from the posts and add it again using the Schema Generator within Rank Math.
-
What is the possible ranking impact?
Having duplicate schemes can confuse search engines like Google, impacting your rankings. Search engines may not know which version to prioritize, potentially leading to lower rankings for all versions of the duplicated content. It’s essential to have unique and relevant content on each page to maintain good SEO performance.
-
How can this be undone at a bulk level for 1200 articles?
To address duplicate schemes across a large number of articles, you can use Rank Math’s Schema Generator to review and update the Schema Markup for each article. While this process may be time-consuming for a large number of articles, it is crucial to ensure that each article has unique and correct Schema Markup to avoid SEO issues.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We checked your page and we can see there is only one Article schema added by Rank Math:
However, we can also see you have two Discussion forum schema with non-critical issues and we can confirm they are not added by the Rank Math plugin. All the Schema from our plugin goes inside a script tag with the class rank-math-schema-pro.
It seems like the Schema is added by your theme or any other plugin you’re using on your website. To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/
Also, it looks like you’re currently using the Rank Math PRO plugin on your website, but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.
Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com so we can locate your account and verify it?
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
