    Hi all,

    For some reason, a recipe post we did months ago (and haven’t touched since posting) is flagging various errors in GSC as of the last couple of days. Please can you advise why this might be and how to resolve? Here are the emails from Google with info:

    Hello,

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

    Could you please test the affected post URL with Google rich results test tool: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results and let us know if the issue is reflected there. You can also share the URL in the affected section so we can check this from our end.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for getting back to me. The results are basically the same as the ones I posted:

    https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=KecA5yeKosN0BlZpH3bzHg

    Since I haven’t changed the page since publishing it months back, it seems to imply either Google has moved the goalposts and changed the parameters needed, or something has changed within RankMath after update.

    Hello,

    Could you please check the settings of your Recipe Schema once again.

    Your code says PTPT20M

    For 20M prep time, the code should be PT20M. So, there is an extra PT there for some reason.

    Could you please share your WP logins in the sensitive data section so we can take a closer look?

    Hi Usair,

    As mentioned, the settings in my RankMath schemas haven’t been changed by me since I first wrote the post. Here’s a screenshot of the timings you mention which show it as PT20M etc.

    Also, the other missing fields listed are meant to be optional. For instance I’ve never had a video field, aggregate rating, nutrition field etc

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    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:

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Sorry for the confusion. While adding time in the Post Settings, please don’t add prefix values like PT. Rank Math plugin automatically adds it to the frontend. So, in this particular post instead of using PT20M, please use 20M.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi Pratik/Michael,

    Removing the PT worked for the time iso errors but the other issues are still outstanding. It is still very odd that the iso errors only came up as of a few days ago and were fine previously since I had not edited any of the recipe fields since publishing the post.

    I have included temp login as requested

    Hello,

    Those are just warnings and you are right, those are optional fields so you can simply ignore them.

    We did not make any changes to the Recipe Schema recently so it is just that Google has decided to send you this email just now (perhaps due to the time ISO issue).

    Hope that helps.
