 * We are using the Yoast SEO plugin to take care of our breadcrumbs schema. It 
   seems to be working on all pages except for the URL provided and two others. 
   We are receiving and error for Missing field “item”. How can we resolve this 
   issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fyoast-breadcrumbs-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@maxfrederick2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxfrederick2/),
 * Thanks for reaching out about your breadcrumbs schema. I can also confirm the
   error you mentioned; the page has duplicate schema output.
 * When I looked into the page’s source code, I noticed that meta tags occur twice
   within the source code. Due to these duplicate codes, Google validates both schemas
   of breadcrumbs as a single one. For instance, in the page source, search for `
   <head>` or `ld+json`, it appears twice.
 * These duplicate codes and tags would mostly be because of using `wp_head()` twice
   on the respective page files by your theme developer, or the theme you are using
   is adding all the tags within the `<head>` `</head>` twice for the respective
   pages. There could also be some errors within the theme. Can you please contact
   your theme developer to look into this case?
 * Also, if you temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme such as Twenty Twenty-
   Three, you’ll notice the tags aren’t duplicated.
 * Do let us know how it goes.

 * [@maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) thank you so much
   for the insight. Let me contact the theme developers and see what they say. Will
   keep you posted.
