# Block does not pass Google Validation

 * There’s a problem in having the Block pass the Google Structured Data Testing
   Tool.
    The error I get is: “Thing is not a known valid target type for the itemReviewed
   property.” I searched the web, and the issue is that “Type” should be set as 
   a book and not Thing anymore. Also, it would require the ISBN to be added.
 * Also, the block generates part of the structured data in the Meta of the page,
   and part inline in the block itself. This creates confusion when other plugins
   are also injecting Meta tag (for example I get the wrong “author”).
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblock-does-not-pass-google-validation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi scaredda,
 * Does the star rating that you assign also reflect on Google serp?
 * The old plugin did it for me and it was awesome, but it now stopped working…

 * The rating shows in the code, however this is not validated.

 * I just released version 1.3.1 which should fix the issue with structured data.
   Note that you’ll need to wait for Google to crawl your site again before the 
   search results will be updated, or you can [ask Google to recrawl your URLs](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en).
