XF 2.3 Remove the "itemReviewed" property to avoid a directional conflict

[Recep Baltaş]

Following a recent Xenforo update, I started receiving the following structured data error in Google Search Console:

A nested "<parent_node>" item may not contain the "itemReviewed" property. Remove the "itemReviewed" property to avoid a directional conflict. The "<parent_node>" type is not compatible with this item.

It appears there is a schema markup issue where the itemReviewed property is incorrectly nested within <parent_node> object in the updated templates.

Could you please look into this directional conflict, or advise on which specific template needs to be modified to resolve the schema error?

Thanks

Create a template modification - xfrm_resource_view

Find

<xf:page option="ldJsonHtml">
    <script type="application/ld+json">
        {{ $resource.getLdStructuredData()|json(true)|raw }}
    </script>
</xf:page>

Replace

<xf:set var="$resourceUrl" value="{{ link('canonical:resources', $resource) }}" />
<xf:set var="$discussionUrl" value="{{ $resource.hasViewableDiscussion() ? link('canonical:threads', $resource.Discussion) : $resourceUrl }}" />
<xf:set var="$authorUrl" value="{{ $resource.User ? link('canonical:members', $resource.User) : $resourceUrl }}" />
<xf:set var="$authorName" value="{{ $resource.User ? $resource.User.username : $resource.username }}" />
<xf:set var="$descFull" value="{{ snippet($description.message, 5000, {'stripBbCode': true}) }}" />
<xf:set var="$currency" value="{{ $xf.options.currencyCode ?: 'EUR' }}" />

<xf:set var="$allReactions" value="0" />
<xf:if is="$description.reactions">
    <xf:foreach loop="$description.reactions" value="$cnt">
        <xf:set var="$allReactions" value="{{ $allReactions + $cnt }}" />
    </xf:foreach>
</xf:if>

</xf:page>

After that, copy the resource URL and paste it here for testing - https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
If no errors shown, then everything works.
