Having 2 Articles Schema on a page/post

    Hello,

    When reviewing my posts and pages with Rich Results Test I have noticed that I have 2 items under the Articles section:
    1. type: BlogPosting Schema.
    2. type: Article Schema.

    I know that Google’s best practice is to use the more relevant one, which I guess would be BlogPoting for my post, however:
    1. Is it harmful to have those two types under one post?
    2. Is it necessary to have the two together?
    3. Why do they appear together, as I have marked the Blog type only?
    ** This is one of the posts for reference: https://machmad.com/גזעי-כלבים-יותר-מ-100-סוגי-כלבים-במקום-אחד/

    Thank you very much!

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    Rank Math only adds the BlogPosting schema to your site.

    Upon checking your site using Health Check Plugin, the article schema is added by your theme.

    In this case, you can get in touch with your web host to disable the schema markup added since Rank Math already adds it on your site.

    Duplicate schema could lead to confusion for search engines as well.

    Hope that helps.
