Bug Deprecated breadcrumbs

Status
Not open for further replies.
Google webmasters has just started notifying people that some breadcrumbs are now deprecated. So what can we do to fix this or should we wait for a update to resolve this?

Example:

Code:
<li class="navbit" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb"><a href="https://www.vgcheat.com/forum/coders-library/" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">Coders Library</span></a></li>

Template affected: dbtech_dbseo_navbit_link

Where it's affected: In image

They're marked as optional so there's no change that's needed :)

No change is planned at this time.
 
Google announced they are sun-setting data-vocabulary.org structured data. Beginning in April 2020, structured data using data-vocabulary.org microdata will not be eligible for rich results.

All sites still using data-vocabulary.org structured data should begin moving to Schema.org structured data.

Schema.org structured data format is the preferred option because it is widely used and is the accepted standard.
 
Hey Fillip, what is the guidance regard this then? should we just remove it or there is a replacement?
 
Sure, but ATM google webmaster point on this as an issue. we need to fix it in the next 30 days. please provide alternative.
 
No, the deadline is not 30 days (it's April), and it only affects whether breadcrumbs are displayed in google search results.

It looks like there's a fix for this for vbulletin 4. Would implementing it with dbseo installed & running basically require the same steps? Also, are there any errors/flaws to point out in this implementation?


The only change needed to be made should be to change

navbar_link
to
dbtech_dbseo_navbit_link

in the new plugin that you create. And to also edit the dbseo navbit template instead of the original vbulletin navbar_link template.

It's looking like when it "officially" becomes an issue, then they'll make a fix or have pre-prepared one ready to launch. In the meantime however, go visit the vbulletin.org thread and the breadcrumb fix made there is working pretty flawlessly. Just give google about a week to process it all.
 
I've just released a new version that should address the issue. I've copied the markup from XenForo so it should work.

You may or may not need to modify the navbar template to add something like itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList" to the block that surrounds the breadcrumbs, I'm not sure.
 
You sort of lost me on the NAVBAR possible edit as it is above my paygrade...

Code:
