Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the Person Schema not showing on your page. It’s important to ensure that the Person Schema has been set up correctly within Rank Math.
To add the Person Schema Type to a post or page, you can follow these steps:
- Edit the post or page where you want to add the Person Schema Type.
- Open Rank Math in the Gutenberg sidebar by clicking on the Rank Math SEO icon for the page.
- Navigate to the Schema Settings by clicking on the Schema tab and then click on Schema Generator.
- Find Person from the list and click on Use to open the Schema Builder.
Once you’ve set up the Person Schema Type, you can enter the relevant details such as the person’s name, description, email address, address, gender, and job title.
After setting up the Person Schema, you can check your Schema with the help of Google’s Rich Results Testing Tool to ensure everything appears as expected.
If you’ve followed these steps and are still experiencing issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we’d be more than happy to help.

Hello,
We’ve checked your site, and the Person Schema has already been added.
You may also verify the Person Schema via these tools:
https://validator.schema.org/
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
The person schema has been added but it DOES NOT SHOW when I use schema.org. If I change it to article it shows, but if I make it person schema it does not show on the validator. I changed the link to one of the pages that has the issue. If you try to validate it using schema.org nothing will show. That is the issue I am having
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
We’ve checked the page, but Rank Math is unable to show the schema.
If that happens when applying the person schema, then this could be caused by conflicting plugin/theme on your site.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), to determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c
Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Let us know how this goes.
I troubleshooted by installing the default theme and switched off all the plugin, the person schema still isn’t working
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins 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):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Enabling the troubleshooting mode, it doesn’t change the front end so it is difficult for us to debug the issue.
Can you please let us know how you have created the “Professionals” CPT? Did you do it using a custom code?
Also, are you able to create a staging website on your end? If you can, please create one, reproduce the error there, and share the login access here, this will allow us to deeply investigate the issue and resolve it permanently without worrying about breaking the live website.
Looking forward to helping you.
I am not getting person schema to work either. I created it and set it to be included on the entire site.
When I put the code through a schema validator it isn’t recognized. I get “no items detected”
Hello @thomasnorden,
Yes, you are right. The Rich Result test only supports schema that produces rich content on Google search – of which the Person schema is not one.
Although this is a bit different from the OP case but thank you for sharing!
If you need help with anything else, please let us know.
