How do I configure structured data

How can I configure the structured data types? For example, my ‘Article’ posts are actually of type NewsArticle, but again, I don’t see anywhere to change that?

Preferably this could be done via settings?

Hi,

The theme has basic and required structured data by default, it doesn’t have any settings in the matter.
You can try the plugins like those:

Thank you.

Well the problem is that YOUR theme is using the wrong Scema types for my sites, and I can’t turn them off and I can’t update them? I have another plugin installed already with the correct types, but I need to either configure NewsPaper or at the very least turn of the structured data you provide which is wrong.

Hi,

Removing the theme structured data would be possible if you remove it from the theme code only. Most of the structured data for the posts is located in this file
https://www.screencast.com/t/6afOnwYmF
The theme contains the basic required data, like author, date published, date modified, reviews etc. Only manually could this be removed.
Please make this change in child theme, in this way if you make update to theme those changes will remain.

Hope this will help you.
Thanks.

Yeah OK. What would REALLY help I think was if you made it configurable to your customers could turn it off to avoid conflicts with other Structured Data Plugins.

+1 for Media Gazelle. Please make this configurable for us, so we can disable the Structured Data and we can use other Structured Data plugins.

Hi,

We’ll take you suggestion in consideration, and if we’ll get more requires for this the developers team will implement this suggestion in our theme.

Thank you for your understanding!

+1 for Media Gazelle : there is no structured datas in the category page for example and I don’t want to update the theme manually to remove this.

Hi @Portekoi,

Unfortunately for the moment this is the only way, sorry! this request is noted in our suggestion list, and we hope there will be a workaround for it in coming updates.

Thank you for your understanding!
