Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you are facing with your permalinks and schema markup affecting your rankings. Changing permalinks can indeed impact SEO and cause issues with schema markup.
To resolve the problem, you need to ensure that your permalinks are set to a more SEO-friendly structure like Postname instead of P=123. This will help search engines better understand your content and improve your rankings.
Here’s how you can change your permalink structure back to Postname in WordPress:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings and then click on Permalinks.
- Select the Post Name option.
- Save your changes.
By changing the permalink structure back to Postname, your URLs will look more SEO-friendly, which should help with your rankings.
Regarding the issue with the job posting schema still using the old permalink structure, you may need to update the schema markup manually in your posts/pages. Ensure that the schema markup reflects the correct URL structure after changing the permalinks.
If you need assistance recovering your lost rankings, I recommend focusing on improving your site’s SEO, creating high-quality content, and ensuring proper schema markup implementation.
If you have any further questions or need additional help, please feel free to ask.
Best regards.
