    Looking at the schema.org the openingHours entry of a location appears to be specified as using the first two letters of the weekday names rather than the full day name.

    In the markup produced by the rankmarth pro plugin we have the entry from our live site:

    “openingHours”: [“Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday 09:00-17:00”],

    I believe according to the standard this should be rendered as:

    “openingHours”: [“Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr 09:00-17:00”],

    This is the spec that I believe applies in this case:
    Schema.org Spec

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The example you are seeing on Schema.org is for the Microdata method of adding the Schema. Rank Math uses JSON LD code to add the Schema and if you check the sample data of Google, you can see the full name of the days is being used in the Schema data: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/local-business

    Hope this clarifies your doubts. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    I see from the documentation of openingHoursSpecification.dayOfWeek

    that google says:

    “We accept both the official schema.org notation for indicating dayOfWeek (canonical URLs for Monday, Tuesday), as well as a shorter form being discussed in the schema.org community.”

    So that resolves my question.

    Thank you.
