[Resolved] Why GP Automatically Generates unwanted Schema? How to Clean Them?

Hi there,

this doc explains how to remove them:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_schema_type/

Hi there,

This simple filter will remove schema.org references from the theme:

add_filter( 'generate_schema_type', '__return_false' );

I know, you don’t want this link, but it tells you how to add the above filter: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

You can use a plugin like Code Snippets, or you can use a child theme to add it – your choice.

if Generatepress is mean for cleanliness…

From where did these craps come from?

These simple schema references are helpful to many, which is why they’re in the theme. However, for people who don’t need them, that one line of code is a very easy fix.

In GP 3.1.0, we’ll be adding a toggle in the Customizer to disable them as well so the filter isn’t needed.

No release date for 3.1.0 yet, but it’s currently in active development.

It simply provides the minimal structure for basic sites/users that may not be able to/want to set it up themselves. You can look up those individual types (WPSidebar, WPHeader etc..) if you’d like to learn more about what they do.

More advanced users or users that need a more complex setup can simply disable it and add their own (recommended).
