Hello,
I’m seeing repeated schema validation errors in Google Search Console for multiple Joomla websites using YOOtheme with 4SEO.
Here’s an example from one site:
-
Error:
Missing field "itemListElement"
-
Type:
BreadcrumbList
-
ID:
https://website(name)/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/17
-
Tested on: Aug 1, 2025, 4:46 PM
-
Crawl status: Crawled successfully
-
Issue: Google flags the BreadcrumbList as invalid because
itemListElement
is missing
Search Console shows:
2 items detected: Some are invalid Invalid items are not eligible for Google Search’s rich results.
Details section:
-
One item valid
-
One item invalid
-
Critical issue: Missing field "itemListElement"
This seems to happen across multiple websites where 4SEO is generating schema. Could you confirm if this is a configuration issue on my side, or if 4SEO/YOOtheme is outputting incomplete BreadcrumbList
schema? And if so, what’s the recommended fix (e.g., configuration, override, or patch)?
Thanks!
