Hello,

Thank you so much for getting in touch.

The itemListElement property accepts itemList, thing, or text as its value, and the usage can be widely seen across Schema types such as — Breadcrumb, HowTo, ItemList, OfferCatalog, etc.

There are two ways that this can be done using our free plugin. One is through breadcrumbs or through a Howto Schema.

If these do not meet your requirements, you can also use the ItemList Schema or OfferCatalog Schema. However, these options are only available in the PRO version of our plugin.

This article may help out even further:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hi, my issue is not resolved yet I have created the ItemList schema for 7 Courses and the schema validator shows that itemListElement is “not a known valid target type for the itemListElement property”. Moreover, the name property in positiveNote schema keeps on generating twice or thrice by its own. I am using Rankmath pro for my client and I am not getting why this is happening. Here’s the code and can you please look into it and help me out.

Hello,

Thank you for that information.

Could you please take a screenshot of the Advanced Schema editor where you have applied the itemList schema so we can check?

You can upload images using this tool and share the generated link here.

Also, have you used the %itemlistloop% variable in the schema? Or created them manually?

Here is the link:https://imgur.com/a/DYvcwba. Yes, I have used the %itemlistloop% and I created the custom schema.

Miguel

Hello,

The first value in a nested array should be zero and you are adding the first entry into the ItemList as a value of one, so the array is not formed correctly.

Please make sure to start the count on zero, as that is the entry point of an array in the world of programming.

Just for reference, this is the issue we are talking about:

Hope this helps solve your issues.

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

Hi Miguel,
I have started with the count 0 but when I add the ItemListElement property (with only one name property) in positiveNotes the “name” property within it keeps on generating by its own and because of which Schema Validator shows warning “ListItem is not a known valid target type for the name property”. While in Rich Result Carousel it shows “Identical property values given, but unique values are required”. Here, I am attaching the Rankmath Schema Template and Rich Reult Test as well as Schema Validator report for your reference.
Here is the link for the same reports https://imgur.com/a/7Hxrjhm.

Hello,

You are adding the name as a property group when this should be a string:

This is what is causing the errors you reported in the Schema above, as the property is not valid for this item.

The template needs to be rewritten so that any property with the value of name is a single property with a sentence instead of a group.

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

Hello Miguel,
I am not generating the “name” as property group. I am writing the name as a property with one sentence (pros) as a value in it. It is the rank math who generates automatically the property twice or thrice on it’s own. You can check by creating one template. Create one template and then wait for few minutes, the rankmath plugin will automatically create the “name” property group on its own.

Marlow

Hello,

The “name” that’s being generated is only a placeholder. You would need to manually change these properties in order to make it work.

You can try adding an item schema or you can also check this ItemList schema for possible fixes:
https://schema.org/ListItem

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello Marlow,
I have created the Schema using ItemList Schema which you mentioned but still the problem remains the same. The “name” property group is automatically generated by it’s own. I think it’s a rankmath plugin issues which is generating the “name” property group on it’s own. I think you needs to look into it in detail.I need the proper solution for it.

Marlow
8 months, 2 weeks ago

Hello,

I do apologize for the miscommunication here.

I was referring to changing the “name” to a property that’s related to the ListItem Schema. For example, we use the property “Item” and the error is fixed. Again, the “name” is only a placeholder and it’s up to you to change these placeholders to fit your custom schema. Please check the sensitive data for more information and screenshots.

Hopefully, that clears out the confusion here.
