Breadcrumb - Missing Field "itemListElement"
Max Tex
Good morning, for a few days now, on several websites built with your templates, I’ve been seeing the following message in Google Search Console: Breadcrumb - Missing field "itemListElement"
For example Language":"it-IT","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://www.emme2net.it/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/17"}}]} What should I do to fix this issue? Thank you!

Accepted AnswerHi
Thanks for contacting us. Sorry right now there is no default option to do that, you need customization for that. You can wait some time, team will update this feature soon.

Accepted AnswerCiao Max,
After research : Install a Joomla plugin that automatically generates correct JSON-LD breadcrumbs. Trusted option: Google Structured Data by Tassos.gr, but then disable Joomla default Schema.org plugin. And enable Remove Joomla Schema in above component: Google Structured Data > Settings
also JSitemap Pro - has it.
After implementing one of the fixes:
-
Use Google’s Rich Results Test - Paste your page URL
- Confirm that BreadcrumbList → itemListElement is present and valid

Accepted AnswerThanks Paul, I'll wait for the update. These problems have arisen with three sites so far, templates:
- Esports
- Jewels
- Edulif
I have enabled breadcrumbs to all sites (via the module, if I'm not mistaken) At least until last week all pages were indexed by Google without problems

Accepted AnswerGoogle is like the sea, very volatile. Google keeps adding new things and changing requirements. No worries, the lack of it does not affect the indexing of the site, they just recommend to have it.
Share link to the website (yours) where Breadcrumbs links are visible, for example, "Home > Our Offer > Lessons" under the header.

Accepted AnswerHello. We are also receiving these reports on different websites made with different themes joomshaper. In fact, Google describes this error very badly: "Missing field "itemListElement" Items with this issue are not valid. Invalid items are not eligible for advanced search results in Google"
Please indicate an immediate solution for this not minor problem
thank you

Accepted AnswerBruno:
- Can you share whole Google message 1:1. Copy & Paste / or / link to screenshot.
- Share link to your website where you have published breadcrumbs module. It's needed by Google as you noticed. So make sure that published that module, and is visible!
Info for all >> https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/45277 (it means that Joomla Core also have problem with it)
In general, Even If I have, I cannot share my own private php code modifications here on forum, only in PM.
