How to Fix Breadcrumbs Markup Error Notification in Search Console - Recently a breadcrumb error notification appeared in Google Search Console sent to the webmaster or blog admin email.
It turns out that this is a new feature of the new Search Console for structured data for breadcrumbs. But the problem is that we are sure to use the correct breadcrumb.
Then what is the cause of this breadcrumb error?
My guess is that Google detects this from the Google cache index, so the old URLs that are indeed when the URL is indexed Google does have an identified breadcrumb error.
That can be seen from the URLs that are affected by the error, even URL 404 can also be detected and enter this breadcrumb error notification .
Most of these breadcrumb error problems come from "invalid id" problems. To better understand this problem, please refer to the post about Overcoming Data Structure Errors For Breadcrumb With Schema.org which I previously discussed.
Overcoming Data Structure Errors For Breadcrumb With Schema.org
Overcoming Data Structure Error for Breadcrumb With Schema.org - Previously the breadcrumb I made for this Magic Company blog and several other templates had no errors in testing the data structure. However, an error recently appeared for breadcrumbs using Schema.org, which is The value provided for item.id must be a valid URL.
Error The value provided for item.id must be valid. This URL indicates that the URL was not detected. The URL must use an ID tag to be detected and is part of a breadcrumb item.
Here is an image for errors in breadcrumb using Schema.org , The value provided for item.id must be a valid URL .
The breadcrumb code with Schema.org error is usually like this.

<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>

</b:if>
</b:loop>Pay attention to the code that is marked, there is also a code that is added itemscope='itemscope' to the code so it looks like this.
<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' itemprop='item' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Thing' title='Home'><span itemprop='name'>Home</span></a>and
<a expr:href='data:label.url + "?&max-results=16"' expr:title='data:label.name' itemprop='item' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Thing'>To resolve errors in breadcrumb using Schema.org, the value provided for item.id must be a valid URL , please delete the following code in the two codes marked above.
itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Thing'If there is no code itemscope='itemscope'in the code, it is sufficient to delete the following code.
itemtype='https://schema.org/Thing'So the code becomes like this.
<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' itemprop='item' title='Home'><span itemprop='name'>Home</span></a>And
<a expr:href='data:label.url + "?&max-results=16"' expr:title='data:label.name' itemprop='item'>And the following appearance of the breadcrumb on the data structure test tool after corrected.
There is no error The value provided for item.id must be a valid URL again in the breadcrumb.
So, hopefully useful.
