Schema type “person” not organisation

Question

Hi,

We have enabled News sitemap, also did Custom schema for the News website,

but after checking link a) (rich results) we see that schema type is person, not organisation,

but we configured everything for the organization, not the person.

where could be the issue?

thanks!

Hello, Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that. News Sitemap is a PRO feature and you have used a Free account to create this ticket. It seems like you purchased the plugin with some other email address. Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com so we can locate your account? And the Person details are for the author of the post. If you check the publisher details, the details of your organization are being added to the Schema. If you want to use the Organization as the author type then you will first have to remove the Person Schema entirely from the site using the filter given below:

add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
    if( isset($data['ProfilePage']) ) {
       unset($data['ProfilePage']);
    }
    return $data;
}, 99, 2);

Once done, you will have to modify and use the following filter to add the author property manually to the Article Schema:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity', function($entity) {
    $entity['author'] = '';
    return $entity;
});
