XF 2.1 Missing field "position" Breadcrumb markup

[Rivmedia]

Anyone else getting Missing field "position" in the breadcrumb trail in search console the past week ?

 

[Ehren]

@Nirjonadda I just checked your site and the code looks correct to me on that URL.. Both name and position are defined for all breadcrumb links, identical to the code in the default xenforo theme.

Can you request Google to revalidate that page to see if they still report it as an error? I'm wondering if it could be a false positive..

Just a reminder, everyone can check their own URLs using Google's own testing tool:

Schema Markup Testing Tool | Google Search Central | Google for Developers

Use the Rich Result Test to see what Google results can be generated for your pages and the schema markup validator for generic schema validation.

search.google.com

Please check URLs through that link first before reporting any issues. If it passes in the proper structured data testing tool then you can ignore what Google is reporting in the search console as it is incorrect or somehow outdated.

I've received the same report from Google.

What exactly should i do for this issue?

I've spoken to Themehouse who have implemented the fix you suggested @Chris D, however, Google is still reporting the same issue and Themehosue have told me to come back to yourself.

Any idea how we can resolve this at all?

Breadcrumb errors

Well, as the error indicates, the name of the first breadcrumb item is empty. Not sure if this is part of your style or a phrase you have translated but some text needs to be within the element that represents the name, even if you only want to display an icon there.

Hi Chris

Without wanting to sound dim.. How Do I go about this then as themehouse tried but it doesn't seem to have made a difference?

Is there any code you could give me to go back to them and I could get them to try and implement?

 

[Chris D]

Go back to them and tell them it didn’t work, that’s all I can recommend really.

i think, we have the same problems with each other.

In case anyone else is looking for an answer here, the issue has been resolved in the upcoming release of @ThemeHouse themes.

Quick follow up: I submitted a request to Google to validate the fix, though I did nothing, and now Google says all the breadcrumbs issues were successfully fixed. So it was a mistake from them for sure.

 

[Chris D]

For some, certainly, yes. For others it appears to be detecting style specific issues.

Just for the avoidance of doubt for other reading this, if it flags up any more URLs, check them here first before reporting:

I have tested this as well and gotten the same result. I've had other people have reports about touchable targets being too close, as well as content being wider than the page, and with no fix applied Google also validates them as resolved after running it a second time

Hello
Having the same issue.
What should i do to fix this ?
Thanks

 

[Ian Hitt]

@kankan I would suggest trying both what Chris suggested as well as Brunoa in their latest two responses.

Am having the same issue on a freshly installed XF2 and using the default theme. I have not installed any TH addon or style. Did anybody get a fix.

What should we type on the breadcrumb position?

Hi, same issue here. Fresh 2.2 installation, Google rich results reports:

Either "name" or "item.name" should be specified
