I'm currently working on a website for my student group, a performing team. The website will have upcoming performance information, so I thought I would use microdata to setup upcoming performances as structured data Events. On each performance page, the performance is given an itemtype of Event.The pages are correctly given this type, as can be seen by using Inspect Element on the webpage. But when I try looking at the page through Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, the type detected is event, and so the custom Event itemprop's are seen as errors. Is there something I am doing wrong in my implementation of microdata?example pageTesting tool
Google Structured Data Testing Tool scrapes different schema type than on webpage
google search console;microdata;google rich snippets tool
Googles SDTT always displays the Schema.org types in lower case (which is an error, as they are case-sensitive). But it doesnt affect anything, its only a problem with their page.As far as I can see, Google is parsing your markup correctly: The property photo is not valid for Event (only for Place), and the property summary isnt defined at all, hence also not valid.The Missing required field name might be misleading: It doesnt mean that the name property is required by Schema.org, it only means that Google requires it for displaying their Rich Snippet.
