I’m having the same issue.
We’ve created the following GitHub issue to solve this: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/2513
I have the same issue and last night I worked several hours to find out what creates the validation error – finally at midnight I understood it’s a bug of your plugin…
You should test any new version BEFORE the release to avoid such situations…
Regards!
I guess they tested the software. But in such huge software projects, it can happen, that there is a little bug. Just fix it in the next update and everything is ok 🙂

Changing http://schema.org on line 83 of class-json-ld.php to http://schema.org/true seems to fix the error…
…however in Google’ Testing Tool it strangely adds your domain in front of the result (ie. normally titled WebSite but after change http://www.Example.com/WebSite).
But the errors go 🙂
From… http://stackoverflow.com/a/30788060 (so unless these guys are also running Yoast – and I don’t think they are – don’t think the blame is entirely plugin related).
@venus
where do you find line 83?? is it within the plugin editor?
I’ve been trying to fix this issue since yesterday. Spending hours.

I was using an FTP program and Dreamweaver – you should be able to find it under Plugin Editor/Wordpress SEO and wordpress-seo/frontend/class-json-ld.php
It’s the first instance of http://schema.org (not the second one). Though I’ve never edited a file this way.
HOWEVER…
I think this ‘fix’ is more of a ‘bodge’ than a fix – it gets rid of the Google error message but as someone on the http://stackoverflow.com/a/30788060 page pointed out by using http://schema.org/true “you are no longer using the [proper] Schema.org vocabulary”.
found it thank you. Tried it but didn’t work for me. Probably some other issue I’m unaware of. And yes that is true. Guess I’ll wait it out for now until we find the fix.
@cratos77 @venus – Just remember, any files you make changes to in the plugin folder will get overwritten once you do an update. You can use hooks, actions, filters to create your own functions inside of functions.php which will can call and modify plugin code that wont get overwritten when you update the plugin.
I see the issue on my site too, but it’s really not THAT big of a deal. I’m sure they will fix this and put out an update pretty soon. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

no errors showing now on structured data testing tool. Guess it takes a few minutes to pick up. Hopefully this doesn’t mess anything else up. We’ll go from here. Appreciate your posts though Venus thank you for all the info.
@thedro Yeah I know this stuff gets overwritten with updates. I just get very paranoid about these types of errors.
thanks for the info! I will definitely implement that on future edits.
