Rich Snippet (Star Rating) don't work in Google – Error in Search Console

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 27

Hello,

I have some articles where I have inserted a star rating by the theme Newspaper 9.8

Nobody sees the star rating in the Google search results, although there are no errors when testing the structured data. ( https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/ )

However, as of today I get error messages in the Google Search Console.

Example URL with Star Rating: https://decentralbox.com/ledger-nano-x/

Test it here: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

I already disabled ALL plugins (except Yoast and the Newspaper plugins) and it still didn’t work. Now of course I have activated all plugins again, because it did not fix the problem.

Can you help me to fix or isolate the problem?

Kind Regards

Hi,

The problem is that you are using an old version of Newspaper theme and the rich snippet was removed by google -> https://i.imgur.com/vzWReAh.png thefore you’ll need to change the type of snippet or to make a theme update.

Thank you!

Hello Calin, ok I understand

I don’t want to update, because 9,8 are the best version for me. Can you help me to solve this without an update?

I also try the other review snippets, but they also don’t work.

Best regards

Hi,

I think that you can use some plugins -> https://themeisle.com/blog/how-to-add-schema-to-wordpress/ also I think that this can be done with custom work too, by making some changes in theme files.

Thank you for your understanding!
