Structered data – WebSite error

Same here, just updated Yoast SEO to 2.2.1 this AM.
Please advise.

I have the same error. I tried to disable the plugin and add the JSON-LD markups manually. I tested it and it worked fine but I do not really want to disable WORDPRESS YOAST SEO. So I am looking for a way to it.

Same error on different sites with the same plugin, wondering if it will be fixed

Apparently this has something to do with Google’s Site Link Search Box. I have installed the code below every page and post but still get the two Structured Data error messages.

I tried adding the SiteLinks Search Box Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/sitelinks-search-box/
which now gives me 4 errors. Apparently this plugin was added to Yoast’s WP-SEO for the last update so it is redundant, and doubling the error messages.

Here is Google’s page with the instructions for the SiteLink Search BoxBox.https://developers.google.com/structured-data/slsb-overview?. I added the SLSB and it works fine but I still get the 2 error messages.

I am wondering if I have to add all my keywords in as the search_term_string?

From Google:
1. Using the search URL pattern in the target property, replace the curly braces and all that’s inside of it with a search query.
2. Copy and paste this into a browser to verify that it leads to a valid search results page on your site. For instance, if your target property is http://www.example-petstore.com/search?q={searchTerm}, then http://www.example-petstore.com/search?q=collars and http://www.example-petstore.com/search?q=leashes should both lead to search result pages on your site about “collars” and “leashes.”
3. The value for the name attribute of the query-input property should match the string that’s inside the curly braces in the target property.

Several sites have said to wait until Google recognizes the SiteLink Search Box on your site. Maybe this will clear up in a few days.

@krazygal: I tried adding the code from your link to my header but still get the same two error messages. I think part of the problem is the coding for the json-ld.php file on this Yoast plugin.

http:schema.org/true – Google’s error message says: The property is not recognized by Google for an object of type PropertyValueSpecification.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "WebSite",
  "url": "https://www.saatler.com/",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "SearchAction",
    "target": "https://www.saatler.com/arama?ara={search_term_string}",
    "query-input":"required name=search_term_string"
  }
}
</script>

@krazygal: the file is in the frontend folder of the wordpress-seo plugin and called class-json-ld.php.

I believe the problem area is between lines 217-242 of the code.

Here is the script version that works fine. Yoast’s should be similar in order to not get the error messages:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
   "@context": "http://schema.org/true",
   "@type": "WebSite",
   "url": "http://www.sitename.com/",
   "potentialAction": {
     "@type": "SearchAction",
     "target": "http://query.sitename.com/search?q={search_term_string}",
     "query-input": "required name=search_term_string"
   }
}
</script>

Good luck – please let me know what the fix is. Thanks.

I tried it. I got no error message either. Thanks for the tip. I am going to add the site links search box manually on wordpress and see it works now.
