XF 1.5 How to convert data-vocabulary.org structured data to schema.org?

[NinaMcI]

Hi. It seems people are getting warning messages about Google withdrawing data-vocabulary.org schema markup from Google rich result features and replacing it with schema.org structured data. See https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2020/01/data-vocabulary.html

Can anyone help with the correct code to convert the data-vocabulary.org structured data to schema.org in XF 1.5?

Would be very much appreciated.

The only viable solution is to upgrade to XF 2.x or simply ignore the warnings.

Thanks for your reply. I'm a little wary of upgrading as I have a lot of customisations on my site which I would need to replicate. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that, though.

I'd personally be more wary of using outdated and unsupported software and having to workaround its incompatibilities with modern standards

You're not alone, it's a daunting task, but many people have done it and it is worth doing.

Thanks Chris. I'll look into it
