Schema Markup Validation Error in Rank Math

    I’m encountering an issue for my website (https://nytsudoku.net/) with the Rank Math SEO plugin after updating to the latest version. Google Search Console has started showing errors related to structured data generated by the plugin, specifically stating: “Schema Markup Validation Failed: Missing ‘author’ field in Article schema.” I’ve double-checked the schema settings in Rank Math, which are set to the default “Article” type, and confirmed that the author details are properly filled in my WordPress user profile. Additionally, I’ve cleared the website cache and re-tested the affected URLs using Google’s Rich Results Test, but the issue remains unresolved. I’m unsure what else to try and would appreciate any advice or solutions if others have faced and resolved similar problems.
