I find parts of theme’s built-in product review system helpful, ie: being able to rate posts and have the stars/rating display across the site, however I’d like to have a way to use this feature without the added schema markups that come with it.
I’m reviewing different movies and the like, not products per say, but Google is often prioritizing the auto-generated ‘product review’ schema. My main issue is Google using the “aggregate rating” / “rating count” fields, that are overriding the “review rating value” from my movie schema markup.
Is there anyway I can continue to use the parts of the theme’s product rating feature I find useful, without having it include all of the extra schema markups? It seems as though the theme’s built-in setting to ‘disable article schema’ does not disable the product review schema.
Thanks for your time / assistance.
I’m having a similar problem, I need to remove that feature completely.
The Newspaper theme’s built-in “article” schema isn’t ideal for many websites. I’m using Rank Math Pro because of all it comes with and how light usage it is. Yoast is very overrated and very overpriced for what you get in it. I’m using three different schemas with Rank Math Pro, the default Article schema, plus two global templates for speakable articles for mobile and desktop versions. Speakable schema is used for voice-activated searches such as Amazon Alexa or Google voice assistant.
It looks like it’s been disabled and is using the Rank Math Pro schemas. I’ve just been having problems with the mobile menu button not working and it looks like a standard pack code is included where the schema shows up, it’s the part of code where the menu button is.
This is just before the menu button script code: <body class="post-template-default single single-post postid-253921 single-format-standard td-standard-pack cookies-not-set td-menu-mob-open-menu" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/WebPage" style="position: relative; min-height: 100%; top: 0px;" aria-hidden="false">
Sorry, I didn’t mean to try and hijack your thread. The correct schemas do show up in the google schema validator for me. Close to fixing this mobile menu button issue, it wasn’t because of that code I posted.
Hello!
I believe that the product review schema is generated by Woocommerce and not by our theme. Maybe you can find a plugin which can help you out, because we do not have a tested plugin for this. Also, please check those topics:

Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
