Hello,
i’ve seen that sometimes the article in google news have a wrong title, you can see the result in the attached photo. Is there a wrong configuration? Can you help me please?
The crawler add automatically in the title the words “Home” and the corresponding category, there is a problem.
Make sure you are using a news sitemap for Google (e.g., yoast news seo add-on if using yoast).
Also, with “some” layouts, you need to move the “category” stuff to not appear above headline.
Stupidly Google will still from time to time use its old scraper bot vs the xml news sitemap and generate those kind of wonky errors.
It should ignore breadcrumbs, but the “category names” placed above headline in “some” layouts can cause this issue, based on my own experience with Google news the past 11 years.
Hope that helps. Not strictly a theme problem, more of an issue with how Google sometimes “scrapes” the page vs actually using the sitemap, even if there is one. Sometimes resubmitting the news sitemap helps. Sometimes changing one word in headline within the first few hours forces reload of story.
🙂
Hello,
I use Yoast SEO News, i have a question for you! How can i move the category for not appear above the headline?
Thank you
Either turn off the option for showing categories on posts from theme panel. Done. Or, you need to move that in your templates if wanted.
If you want to move that to footer, as I do, then you would need to move that block in the post template(s) you’re using from the loop file to bottom — I move my category block down to the tag block area with certain layouts.
Simplest thing is to just disable showing the “categories” elements on post, as not strictly needed since those same categories are in your menu(s) and in sitemap(s) for Google, et al.
