Simply convert the type to Product (as partly explained [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-google-requirements-for-structured-data/#post-11959544), need to comment some unuseful data too), and it will do the job.

And if Google finds out, it will penalize your site._ * According to Google… * “…we’re limiting the pool of schema types that can potentially trigger review rich results in search. Specifically, we’ll only display reviews with those types( and their respective subtypes): * – Book – Course – CreativeWorkSeason – CreativeWorkSeries – Episode – Event – Game – HowTo – LocalBusiness – MediaObject – Movie – MusicPlaylist – MusicRecording– Organization – Product – Recipe – SoftwareApplication * This is great news. However, if you were to select a specific subtype (ex. Products) it will cause a potential issue people since it won’t match their guidelines. * I know your busy with your full-time job so I really don’t want to make any far- reaching suggestions but if I may I would suggest… * a) A drop-down menu in the settings page to allow us to select the schema type that best matches what is being reviewed. * b) Add a generic type and let us know in a “sticky topic” where we can make the change ourselves. * There may be better ways but those are just 2 I can think of now. * Thanks. * [tabatha.j22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tabathaj22/) * (@tabathaj22) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structured-data-error-after-installing-the-plugin/#post-12187582) * I realized earlier that in your FAQ section you already show how to change the Schema type.
