Schema author name property has two entries on the About page

Hello,

These schema properties are essential for the search engine especially the breadcrumbs as this will guide the search engine about the structure of your website.

With that said, you may refer to this filter code to apply the breadcrumbs only to posts:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/breadcrumb', function( $entity ) {
	if ( !is_singular( 'post' ) ){
		return false;
	}
	return $entity;
});

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

Hello,

We generate a schema to be compliant with Google’s documentation so having multiple name properties will not cause any issues.

However, you can modify the schema by using this filter code:

Hello,

Here’s a filter to remove or change the name property from the author schema:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function($entity) {
	// Change
	$entity['author'] = [
			'@type' => 'Person',
			'name'  => 'Author Name',
			'@id' => 'https://mywebsite.com/other-url-custom'
	];

	// Remove
	unset($entity['author']['name']);

	return $entity;
});

Please note that as the structure is already valid, removing the property may cause warnings or errors from Rich Result Test.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
