 * Hey,
 * I am getting the following error while checking the yoast scheme data:
 * `URL: A value for the URL field is required.`
 * URL of the schema data testing tool: [https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fcliffyb.com%2Fauthor%2Fluqman%2F](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fcliffyb.com%2Fauthor%2Fluqman%2F)
 * Screenshot: [https://prnt.sc/sio1od](https://prnt.sc/sio1od)
 * I have also asked my theme developer and they said its from Yoast.
 * Can you please help me with this error?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Hi [@webtify](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtify/) and [@tentangsinopsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tentangsinopsis/)
 * We apologize for any issues you’ve encountered with the plugin. Could you confirm
   you’re using the latest version of v14.1 oF Yoast SEO for WordPress? Also, could
   you confirm that this particular error only occurs for this particular author
   archive, or does it occur elsewhere? Have you also modified the schema.org structured
   data output in any way?

 * Hey,
 * I am using the latest Version 14.1
 * I am facing this issue on almost every page and I have not modified the schema.
   org structured data output in any way.

 * We can see Yoast is outputting the right data for the logo. See image: [https://pasteboard.co/J9BOfCf.png](https://pasteboard.co/J9BOfCf.png)
 * The issue is likely that the logo URL is in an svg format:[https://cdn-5e320f64f911c80ca0df5eef.closte.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/logo.svg](https://cdn-5e320f64f911c80ca0df5eef.closte.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/logo.svg).
 * Google requires it to be in a specific format described here [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/logo](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/logo).
 * We suggest making the logo in one of those formats, clearing your cache, and 
   seeing if the issue resolves.

 * Hey,
 * I have uploaded the SVG logo only after getting the error so the problem is not
   with the SVG file format. But now, I have removed the SVG logo and reverted back
   to the PNG file format. You can still see the error with the PNG logo format.
 * I really don’t know what’s causing the error?

 * The ‘Organization/Person’ is an odd thing to see in the markup. The last time
   I saw that, it was due to the Yoast settings have both pieces of information;
   instead of only one piece. Let’s check that option.
 * Please go to Admin > SEO > Tools > Import and Export > Export settings (tab) 
   and click on the export button. This will generate a text field with all of your
   settings.
 * Please review the settings list for the following options:
    * `company_or_person`*`
   company_or_person_user_id`
 * Are you setup for a company or a person?
    Is there a user ID defined or is that
   field empty?

 * Hey,
 * The settings are:
 *     ```
       company_or_person = "company"
       company_or_person_user_id = 1
       ```

 * That is certainly causing the mixed schema so let’s see if fixing the mixed schema
   fixes the original issue.
 * * Generate the export settings data.
    * Copy and save this in a text file on 
   your computer. (Just to be safe) * Copy them into the import settings tab. * 
   Fix the mixed data (see note below) * Import. * Clear cache and test the schema
   again.
 * **Note**: There may be other mixed schema so check these settings as well. Only
   the person or company options should be filled in. Remove any data in the non-
   selected option. In your case, remove any ‘person’ data and leave the company
   data alone. The = sign is required so just remove anything after the =. You can
   export and review the newly imported data to ensure everything imported correctly.
   That’s why I recommended saving the original export.
 * Person
 *     ```
       person_name
       person_logo
       person_logo_id
       company_or_person_user_id
       ```
   
 * Company
 *     ```
       alternate_website_name
       company_logo
       company_logo_id
       company_name
       ```

 * Hey [@amboutwe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amboutwe/)
 * As I am using company only so I have removed the code below:
 *     ```
       person_name
       person_logo
       person_logo_id
       company_or_person_user_id
       ```
   
 * and when I am removing the above code the code comes back after saving, and the
   issue is still there. Can you please check at your end.
