      I'm getting the same structured data error on search console form most of my websites, Invalid value in field "itemtype"

      I take off all the structured data but still having this problem, according to Search console is a syntax problem but I can't find what is causing this.

      Any guess, suggestion or solution for this?

        Hi,

        Are you able to provide a link to the page?

        From experience it's placing the wrong schema together which causes it to not validate.  Search console is usually 3 days behind in terms of collecting data so to sort it out immediately test the page through here => https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool

        If after all this and your'e still having problems, go check out a website that serves up similar content and check how they've marked up their page.

          Hi,

          Have you incorporated structured data into your website using html code (json, schema, etc)?

          Maybe there is some data not completed.

          A greeting

            Hi,

            Thanks for your answer, but I'm having the problem on most of my websites, even before I put some JSON schema with tag manager. I tried to disallowing all the schema from the tag manager and still happening the same. All these sites are on WordPress I'm starting to think tath there is a problem on the code or something.

            You can have a look on the page, https://alexanders.co.nz/ please let me know if you have any suggestions.

            I run a test on https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool and is highlighting this problem, but as I say before even when I took out all the schema from tag manager so I'm not sure what is generating that code or schema.
