[Support request] remove schema created by theme

[dassana]

hi

i want to remove the schema created by generatepress theme. basically i just want the recipe schema and not the other schema. is there a way i can remove the other schema types like hcard, comment, wpsidebar, creative work, navigation element, person and hatom.

Hi there,

You’d have to install 2.2, which is currently a release candidate: https://generatepress.com/generatepress-2-2/

Then you can add this function:

add_filter( 'generate_schema_type', function() {
    return '';
} );

thanks tom. i have upgraded generatepress to 2.2. i am using a child theme so added the code in the child theme’s functions.php file. but i am not seeing any changes.

as you have mentioned in a previous thread, that the schema can be turned off in the customizer, i cannot see any such option in the customizer. i also checked a few links in google structured data tool, but cannot see any changes.

I’m still seeing 2.1.4 on your website. Are all caching plugins cleared?

[dassana]

the new theme is active on the entire site. some pages are cached and some are not. i have purged the cache of a post and you can check on this link – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/bhindi-masala

Now I’m seeing the new version.

Where did you add the function above?

[dassana]

i have added the code in the child theme’s functions.php file.

[Tom]

Have you made sure all caches are clear? Testing on my end and it’s all working as it should with that exact code.

[dassana]

yes i did for the link i gave. but i can see the extra schema on the structured data tool. also i cannot see any option in the customizer for disabling the extra schema. i can see the other changes you have included in the customizer option.

i hope i am following the right thing. i do not know how the extra schema can be removed. for now the code is still added in the functions.php child theme.

[Tom]

There is no Customizer option to disable the microdata – you need to use the function.

I just gave this to another customer and it worked:

add_filter( 'generate_schema_type', '__return_false' );

Hi there,

I tried both codes mentioned above and I’m still seeing the hatom microformat on both my pages in Googles testing tool.

Basically I only want the Article type schema. Can you help me with that?

Thank you!

hi tom

not sure why the extra schema is appearing in the google testing tool. i have added both the codes that you have given at separate times. no change in the schema. it’s the same. intitally i added the first code and then removed it and added the second code. for now the second code is active on the site and you can check this link – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/matar-paneer/

first code:
add_filter( ‘generate_schema_type’, function() {
return ”;
} );

second code:
add_filter( ‘generate_schema_type’, ‘__return_false’ );

[Tom]

Dietmar – the hatom stuff is done using classes within the elements. These classes can’t be removed currently. However, having them in there won’t interfere with your schema microdata at all.

dassana – I’m not seeing the built-in microdata on your site anymore.

hi tom

i did not understand what you mean? in the google testing tool i can see the extra schema with no changes.

[dassana]

you can check this url where the extra schema is appearing – https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vegrecipesofindia.com%2Fmatar-paneer%2F
