Rankmath doesn’t remove Schema

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to Rank Math support. We’re glad to help you with your query.

We understand that you want to remove Rank Math schemas from your website and add your own custom schema instead. First, can you please confirm if you want to remove the default schema from some posts or all posts on your website? Also, how are you adding your custom schema? Are you planning to use the Custom Schema or Schema Templates features of the PRO version of Rank Math, or are you using a different method?

The steps to remove the default schema will depend on your answers to these questions. For example:

1. If you are still using Rank Math schemas and you only want to remove the default ones, you can use this code snippet in your child theme’s functions.php or rankmath.php file:

   add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
       if (isset( $data['publisher'] ) ) {
           unset( $data['publisher'] );
       }	   
       unset($data['WebPage']); 
       unset($data['WebSite']);
       unset($data['ImageObject']);
       return $data;	
   }, 99, 2);

2. If you are adding your custom schema with another method and you want to remove all of Rank Math’s schema from your website, you can use this code snippet instead:

   add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
       return false;	
   }, 99, 2);

You can add these code to your website using any of the methods listed here https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

One more thing to note: we saw your screenshot and noticed that you are looking for the schema added with the rank-math-schema class. This class is used for all schemas added by Rank Math, not just the default ones. So you will only not see this class if you are not using Rank Math schema at all.

We hope this clears up the confusion and helps you achieve your desired result. If you have any other questions or issues, please don’t hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math

Hello,

You can set a condition in the filter to check for the page ID if you only want to remove the Schema from a single page:

add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
    if (get_queried_object_id() == '123' ) { //replace 123 with the page ID
           unset( $data['publisher'] );
           unset( $data['ProfilePage'] );
           unset($data['WebPage']); 
           unset($data['WebSite']);
           unset($data['ImageObject']);
    }
    return $data;	
}, 99, 2);

Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
