AMP validation error – “Error in required structured data element”

Google Search Console has sent me an error for one of my web pages.

https://www.fullonecommerce.com/amp/three-developer-friendly-ecommerce-platforms-you-may-not-have-heard-of.html

The error is “Error in required structured data element” and appears on only for this one page (so far at least!). No further details are provided except a link to the explanatory text

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article

I did a quick manual check of the article structured data element in the affected page and it appears ok to me. I tried removing the “description” element as I could not see this in the specification, but this made no difference.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I have validated your current JSON+LD code from the linked article:

<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://www.fullonecommerce.com/amp/three-developer-friendly-ecommerce-platforms-you-may-not-have-heard-of.html"},"headline":"Three developer-friendly ecommerce platforms you may not have heard of","datePublished":"2020-12-04T15:49","dateModified":"2020-12-18T11:38","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://www.fullonecommerce.com/media/website/logo.png","height":82,"width":350},"description":"Three developer-friendly ecommerce platformsThis article introduces you to three developer-friendly ecommerce platforms that may fit your needs without having to resort to the ones everyone has heard of (like BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Shopify - all of which are members of our ecommerce platform&hellip;","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M Ryan"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"M Ryan","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://www.fullonecommerce.com/media/website/logo.png","height":82,"width":350}}}</script>

and it looks correct now: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

Thank you, yes, Google has validated it now, however I have found further details on a new error “AMP HTML Tag has an invalid layout specified by its attributes.” and confirmed by using the Google-provided AMP Test Tool at https://search.google.com/test/amp

for the following page:

https://www.fullonecommerce.com/amp/ecommerce-terminology-the-complete-guide.html

The reported error is:

The mandatory attribute ‘height’ is missing in tag ‘amp-img’.

and shows the following source code snippet:

<amp-img src="https://www.fullonecommerce.com/media/posts/27/bhphotosupermenu-2.png" sizes=

Looking inside Publii at this image, the height and width are missing from this particular image. So, no surprises the error is generated, but perhaps Publii could issue a warning if you enable AMP and have pages without height and width set?

Hi,

When plugins will be available for Publii (probably Q2 this year) we will prepare a tool for detecting such issues. At this moment you have to rely on Google Search Console for such purpose (but in fact for such purposes GSC has been created :)).
