How can I set the name for a FAQPage (accordion element) in rich snippets?

Hey AlexR,

Thank you for the inquiry.

We can use the following filter in the functions.php file to add the name attribute to the faq schema markup, but it seems not necessary because the tool is not returning any errors.

add_filter('avf_markup_helper_attributes', 'avf_markup_helper_attributes_modified', 10, 2);
function avf_markup_helper_attributes_modified($attributes, $args) {
	if( $args['context'] == 'faq_section' ) {
	    $attributes['name'] = 'FAQ';
	}
	return $attributes;
}

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Looks like the tool fetch the name from the headline element such h1, h2 or any element with the itemprop=”headline” attribute, or from the title element in the head tag. However, according to the structured data documentation, FAQPage does not require a headline, name or title attribute and it does not provide anyway to do so, same as with Breadcrumb element.

// https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/faqpage#faq-page

You can actually test the example given in the documentation, and it will still return an unnamed entry.

Hi,

No problem. It is possible that not all elements require a name because its type (e.g FAQ, Breadcrumb) already describes the element effectively.

Please do not hesitate to open another thread if you need anything else. We will close this one for now.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,
