 * Hello
 * There is a Schema problem with Elementor. When you use the “Star rating” widget
   you end up with a schema error that says “The property reviewRating is not recognized
   by Google for an object of type CreativeWork.”
 * This is very bad and also shows up in Google search console as a problem that
   needs to be fixed.
 * When will this be fixed?

 * For your information, pages may have the “itemtype” schema property (or “@type”
   in Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool) set to “CreativeWork” (the more generic
   item type for creative work) which is currently unsupported by Google.
 * In most cases, this item type property seems to be included in the page’s HTML
   coding by the theme.
 * You may be able to confirm on your end by temporarily switching your theme to
   WordPress’ Twenty Nineteen (or our Hello Elementor theme) then check if the warning
   is still present in Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool after running a new
   test.
 * At the moment, Google only supports the “reviewRating” schema property provided
   by our Star Rating widget for Books, Local businesses, Movies, Music, Products
   and Recipes pages. You may find more on this in Google’s support article below
   on the Review schema snippet.

 * Hello
 * Thank you for your reply.
 * However, the warning has nothing to do with the theme. I’m using Astra but I 
   have tried Hello as well. When I remove the “star widget” the warning disappears
   when checking Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool so it definitely has to do
   with the “star widget” itself within Elementor.
 * Could you please check on your end? I wouldn’t normally stress about a warning,
   but I get it in the search console as well which makes the “star widget” unusable
   because of this.
 * If there is a setting within the Astra theme to change this then please let me
   know.
 * Thanks.

 * Unfortunately, as much as I would love to help you, at the moment, Elementor 
   does not fully support schema attributes. This is why it may not be compatible.
 * I know how important is this matter to you, and I believe it would be a great
   feature, so, on my end, I’ve tagged this ticket as a feature request so that 
   our development team can consider this option.

 * [@davidr90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidr90/) How about considering
   a checkbox toggle in the star rating element to NOT include the schema attributes
   we have no control over?

 * Hello,
    I am using my rich snippets “Product”. Rich snippets “CreativeWork” is
   not compatible with “Product”. How to disable in Elementor rich snippets “CreativeWork”
   or all rich snippets? Thanks

 * Here’s a snippet I now use to add a toggle to the Star Rating widget to toggle
   off Schema if desired [https://gist.github.com/pingram3541/49b110dd8d6188324abe47d7663e39ec](https://gist.github.com/pingram3541/49b110dd8d6188324abe47d7663e39ec)

 * However the fix to our problem was related to the Astra theme of which modifying
   the body tag was necessary via:
 * `add_filter( 'astra_schema_enabled', '__return_false' );`

 * I’m sorry for the mistake.
    Rich snippets was not added by the elementor but 
   by the template generatepress.

 * functional solution:
 *     ```
       // remove rich snippets for a particular page
       function remove_gp_schema_type() {
           if ( is_page(12) ){
               add_filter( 'generate_schema_type', '__return_false' );
           }    
       }
       add_action('wp_head', 'remove_gp_schema_type');
       ```
