# additional “sameAs” fields appearing

 * I keep getting extra sameAs fields for the author, which I don’t want and can’t
   work out where they are coming from.
 * I’ve tried deleting plugin with the setting so all data is deleted.
 * I’ve deactivated all in one SEO and still the same.
 * If i deactivate/delete Schema the “BlogPosting” hentry is gone for the page. 
   When I reactivate Schema it’s there again, so it’s the only thing showing BlogPosting.
 * But I can’t see where it’s getting the additional sameAs fields from?
 * Any suggestions?
    Thanks David

 * Hi David,
 * The plugin gets these values out of User Profile > Contact Info. Which includes(
   Facebook, G+, and Twitter). These fields are added by Yoast SEO plugin.
 * So, I see you have 3 sameAs properties in the page you’ve mentioned.
 * `Note:` If you make any changes to those fields within the user profile, try 
   going to Schema > Settings, and save the plugin settings once, this will reflect
   the changes you’ve made.
 * P.S. It seems that there is something wrong in Twitter’s sameAs field, it’s not
   adding the full URL. This mostly a ubg within the Schema plugin (I will be fixing
   it in a coming update).

 * Thank you for the reply Hesham.
 * Yes I thought it would be pulling those extra sameAs fields from the user profile
   but couldn’t understand why it was still doing so after I had deleted them (just
   have the google + one there). I’ve tried saving in schema and doing a full delete(
   by clicking the full uninstall option), then re-installing and still there. cleared
   cache etc.
 * I then added dummy text in the different fields and did the save and it didn’t
   update, so not sure what’s happening.
 * Cheers
    David

 * I’ve just tried it now, it works for me.
 * However, I needed to save the plugin settings after making changes to the user
   profile.
 * FYI: Saving plugin settings will flush all cashed markup in post meta, visiting
   a page or post will re-generate the markup again with the new values.
 * Maybe try saving the plugin settings again, then view the post and test it in
   Google Structured Data Testing tool.
