Hi. I’ve recently published my first webstory, but there seems to be a problem, I get an error message from Google Search Console.

Hi @abemedpibe Thanks for your patience as we worked to test and troubleshoot this issue. It does appear that the Either “name” or “item.name” should be specified message displaying on Web Stories in Google Search Console is related to a known issue in the Yoast SEO plugin: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/17006. As noted in that issue, they are aiming to release a fix in their next version, 16.4.

You can follow that GitHub issue for updates, but I will also update this topic when v16.4 has been released.

Thank you!

@abemedpibe Yoast has released version 16.4, which includes the fix for this issue: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/17006. I just ran your Web Story through the checker and it looks like everything is now valid: https://search.google.com/test/amp?id=wiiOcCfCUfIbnezBwix_yg, so I’ll mark this issue as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist. Thank you!

Hey,

I also published a couple of web stories on my blog and seems like I am also facing the same issue.

I just checked it and the Yoast Plugin is up to date. Could you please help me out?

Here are the links to my web stories:

Heya,

It looks like Yoast SEO is again facing several issues with breadcrumbs, see https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/17175 for example. Please open a new topic on the Yoast SEO support forums or report this on their GitHub repo, as this is this is an issue in Yoast, not the Web Stories plugin.

If this still happens with Yoast SEO deactivated, feel free to open a new topic here (instead of replying on an already resolved one).

Thank you!
