Since updating my WordPress installation to 6.3, I’m getting a itemprop=”discussionURL” message on my blog landing page. WordPress is telling me that it’s a conflict with the theme. I am using the Roseta theme at present.

I am experiencing the same problem after going to 6.3. It only shows on my Search Results page. I tried changing from 3×3 to 2×2 and it was still there. I am using Septera Plus. My site is:

Really disappointing to see no response from the admins/devs. I fear Cryout Creations themes are no longer viable if there is no support. My site has been built around Nirvana and Septera, and I really don’t want to change, but I will be forced to if things can’t get fixed.

Unfortunately, I’m coming to the same conclusion, and have started thinking about looking for a different theme.

Carrie, I found a workaround to make that text go away.

Go into Appearance, Customize, then when in the Customizer, go to Post Information, Meta Information, and uncheck the box for Display Comments.

Disabling that option will make the itemprop=”discussionURL” text go away, but it also takes away the count of how many comments are on each post. If you can live with losing that number, you can get rid of the text that is showing up now.

Hopefully someone fixes this as this is almost certainly only the beginning of more defects that will show up as WordPress is updated, but these themes are not.

Thank you, Mike! Your workaround worked and it was fast and easy.

If you really want to fix it:
Open the file includes/comments.php
On line 108 change

cryout_schema_microdata(‘comment-meta’);

into

cryout_schema_microdata(‘comment-meta’, 0);

This keeps the comment counts, and removes the itemprop=”discussionURL”.

Hi,

Running WP6.4 with Esotera, I am also affected by the issue. Both fixes work. When can we expect an official fix?

I’m not sure how old this problem is but I filed a couple support tickets and haven’t heard back. I’m running Fluida Plus now but this problem is also on Septera Plus for other sites I use the themes for.

I found this previous post:

This seems to confirm Cryout Creations are aware of the issue in August 2023, but it’s now 2024 and no fix… Is support dropping?

I used this fix by just adding some css (style.css):

/* Removes itemprop=”discussionURL” */
.comments-link {
visibility: hidden;
}

This seems to remove the problem areas for me while leaving the comments themselves on and the comments count in place for thumbnails (ie: related posts). Temporary fix I’m hoping.
