[Resolved] Yoast schema clash

[Stevie]

Hi guys
I believe GP natively outputs schema..
Can this clash with Yoast?
I see you have a filter for turning it off. How and where do I add this?
cheers

Hi there,

We would recommend turning off GP’s schema if you are using Yoast.

The code can be added using one of these methods:

Thanks Leo. Hope you don’t mind, but I have a few questions.

1.Do I just create a code snippet,( using code snippets plugin) give it a name and add the following:
add_filter( ‘generate_schema_type’, ‘__return_false’ );

2. If so, can you explain what kind of conflict occurs after I enable GP on my site?

3.I’ll be putting site in maintenance mode for couple of hours while I add GP, GP premium and make some
changes to css and layout etc. Do I need to deactivate Yoast at all during this installing, activation and designing of my site framework?

kind regards
Stevie

1. Yes

2. I’m not a schema expert so not sure unfortunately. As far as I understand, you only want 1 schema activated. So if you are using Yoast’s schema, then disabling GP’s schema is a good idea.

3. Nope I don’t think so.

thanks Leo !

So I’m fairly new to this too. Are you guys saying something like this plugin here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

And then using the plugin add the snippet:

add_filter( ‘generate_schema_type’, ‘__return_false’ );

And then that should remove the GP Schema?

Yoast premium comes with the Schema built-in as well?

That is correct.
