Schema - Google Improve Item appearance for comments-area and comment_author_link()

[diggeddy]

Description

Coming to a blog near you, every GSC console will recommend the following improvements:

Although these add absolutely zero value and have no impact on a search result Rich Snippet; google in their wisdom thought it best that any user who has comments on a blog post should be subject to a code Yellow warning like theres an approaching hurricane in your neighbours backyard.

This is has come about through their implantation of DiscussionForumPosting schema. See references for example

Now this unfortunately affects Comments and we need to:

1. Use generate_get_microdata to add itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork to the comments-area

generatepress/inc/structure/comments.php

Line 226 in 513d21a

<div class="comments-area">

2. add itemprop="url" to the <a> that is returned from the get_comment_author_link() used here:

generatepress/inc/structure/comments.php

Line 43 in 513d21a

<?php printf( '<cite itemprop="name" class="fn">%s</cite>', get_comment_author_link() ); ?>
