    Hi,
    one of my clients has RankMath Pro on her website. She has been constantly complaining about an issue where RankMath is adding the same schema within the post multiple times. Even when trying to delete the duplicate ones they are not getting deleted.

    Screenshots:

    I have no idea why this is happening. It is a bug in the RankMath code. Cause when I tried to delete a duplicate Schema it is showing me a tooltip to make primary and unable to delete the duplicate schema. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/H6oRtMs.jpeg

    The site is also using the latest version of RankMath.

    Can you please take a look? I’ve shared the WP Admin Post URLs and the site login in the sensetive info section.

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the issue your client is facing with RankMath Pro adding the same schema multiple times within the post. Thank you for providing the screenshots; they are helpful in understanding the problem.

    Based on the screenshots you shared, it seems like the duplicate schema issue is causing inconvenience. To resolve this problem, you can follow these steps:

    1. Delete the Schema Using Bulk Actions:
      • Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Posts or Pages.
      • Select the affected posts or pages.
      • Click on Bulk actions and choose Set Schema: None.
      • Click Apply to remove all schema from the selected posts or pages.

    If the duplicate schemas persist even after following these steps, you may need to delve into the database to delete the corrupted schema manually. You can refer to this guide for detailed instructions: Resolving Rank Math Schema Markup Related Issues.

    Just FYI, I do not want to set Set Schema: None as it will remove all the Video and How to Schemas from the page as well. I simply want to remove the duplicate schema and report the issue so that the team find the root cause behind the duplicate schema and ensure it doesn’t happen again in the future.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    This is an issue with the current theme you are using which conflicts with our plugin and shows the data inside our Rank Math SEO Metabox incorrectly.

    If you switch to a default theme you’ll notice that the buttons work properly and the data can be removed so we would recommend getting in touch with the theme provider or if you are the creator of the theme to check which CSS or JS is being implemented in the backend that could cause this conflict.

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

    Hi,
    But the theme doesn’t have anything that modifies RankMath functionality in any way. Will test with default theme and let you know.

    Can you let me know if I set bulk action Schema > none – it’s going to remove all schema – right? Then how will I add the schema back?

    I am not understanding which part of the theme is causing the issue as the theme has nothing that modifies RankMath functionality in any way.

    Ok so the issue was coming cause Bootstrap Grid CSS was being loaded in the editor which I’ve removed now.
    But still doesn’t explain why duplicate schema is getting generated in the first place.

    Hello,

    The Video Schema that gets added to the page is done automatically when you add a video to the page from a supported platform and our plugin detects it.

    It’s important to note that when you remove said video, the Schema markup is not deleted and it needs to be done manually.

    As for the duplicate Article Schema, the only way that can happen is if someone added the duplicate one without noticing there was one already on the page.

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

    Thanks for your response.
