[Resolved] GP theme schema

[George]

A client of mine asked me about this article since he’s been using Yoast:
https://blogaid.net/tips-tuesday-google-helpful-content-update-ga4-mini-course-indexnow-shopify-collabs/

Under the “Disable Theme Schema Markup – New Tutorial in DIY SEO” heading.

Can you advise?

Noticed this one here:

Should I disable the theme schema?

Hey George,

If you’re using another method to provide schema it is a good idea to disable the theme schema.

You can do so with a simple filter for now: add_filter( 'generate_schema_type', '__return_false' );

Hi Tom. Does it make sense to leave some of the theme schema in tact, like the schema added to the menus, header, etc? And if yes, is there a way to exclude some from removal?

[Tom]

I don’t think there’s much benefit there – it’s likely better to just go with the JSON-LD solution. Most browsers are smart enough these days to understand where the header and navigation area are without basic microdata telling them.

Ok, thanks Tom.
