In GenerateBlocks 2.0, the Accordion option settings no longer include the FAQ structured data option. This is very troublesome. Do I have to wait for the next version to add it? !

Hi there,
this feature is under review. As we are:
a) considering alternative and more flexible methods of building schema
b) reviewing changes to google search guidelines where FAQ has been significantly downgraded:https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/08/howto-faq-changes
Going forward, FAQ (from FAQPage structured data) rich results will only be shown for well-known, authoritative government and health websites. For all other sites, this rich result will no longer be shown regularly. Sites may automatically be considered for this treatment depending on their eligibility.
For now you can either:
a. use a 1.x Accordion block
b. add micordata schema to the block HTML using the GB Pro Advanced > Attrributes
Schema example can be seen here:https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/faqpage

Thanks for your reply.
That being said, Google always says but never does!
As far as the current situation is concerned, the FAQPage structured data function as a kind of media search results still has a certain effect on the SEO of most websites, especially some corporate websites in special industries. Google will consider them more authoritative and choose to display their FAQPage structured data content in the search results.
In the short term, before Google completely abandons this function, I personally think that this function still has great value, especially when it helps pages improve SEO effects.

Thanks for your feedback, we will keep it under review!

any news about reintegrating FAQ Schema support? I use it very very very often and adding via HTML block is not very nice

Hi there,
no news at this time.
There are a couple of options you may want to consider:1. add Schema.org microdata to the blocks HTNL using the Advance HTML Attributes feature in GB Pro
You can see an example of the microdata required here:https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/faqpage
2. use a legacy GB Pro block,
You can temporarily enable 1.x Blocks:And create a FAQs using the legacy Accordion block. Save it as a pattern and then revert to 2.0. You can then use the old block where required.

Thanks for your reply.
Especially the https://learn.generatepress.com/blocks/block-guide/generateblocks-1-x-to-2-0/#how-to-return-to-version-1-0-blocks seems like a good solution for me. -
