 * Hi everyone!
    So after activating the Yoast SEO option, “faq page”, I’m getting
   this error.
 * > Falta el campo “mainEntity” / Missing field “mainEntity”
 * on my FAQ page.
    I’m using the plugin faq schema, but it seems that doesn’t solve
   the problem.
 * So how are you supposed to solve it?

 * Hi [@pipfros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pipfros/),
 * Are you using the Yoast FAQ block on the page? Yoast SEO requires you to add 
   your content using this block in order for the correct structured data to appear.

 * Yes, but I’m clueless of how you are supposed to do it. On the “faq schema” plugin
   I’ve written down all Q&A, but nothing else . Any link to a newbie’s guide?
 * Thank you and Merry Christmas!

 * We have tested the [relevant page](https://institutodemediacionjudicial.es/preguntas-frecuentes-en-la-mediacion/)
   on our end by using the [Google Structured Data Testing Tool](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/)
   and were able to reproduce the issue. We see there are multiple FAQ schema markups.
   We recommend you either use the 3rd party FAQ schema plugin or use the Yoast 
   SEO FAQ block but not both as having same sets of multiple schema mostly causes
   conflict.
 * So, once you disable either of them, please do let us know so that we can test
   the issue again on our end.

 * I am facing the same issue.
 * After the last Yoast plugin update I am getting the error **Missing field ‘mainEntity’**
   in almost 7 pages. For example you can check this page [computer kya hai](https://www.wtechni.com/computer-kya-hai-hindi/)..

 * Having the same problem….. The ‘mainEntity’ attribute exists. Could it be placed
   wrongly within the structured data?

 * It seems like the Yoast team is working on a fix. So this will hopefully be resolved
   soon! 🙂
