Description

After running a query to try to get some open graph data If I added the "price" field I am getting Internal server error. But If I remove that field It works.

Steps to reproduce

Query:

{
  page(id: "515743", idType: DATABASE_ID) {
    title
    seo {
      fullHead
      jsonLd {
        raw
      }
      openGraph {
        title
        description
        articleMeta {
          publishedTime
        }
        productMeta {
          brand
          currency
          price
        }
        twitterMeta {
          description
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In an LLC, the transfer of ownership can be more complex and restrictive. Typically, the operating agreement of an LLC outlines the procedures and conditions under which ownership can be transferred. It may require the approval of all or a majority of existing members before a transfer can occur. Additionally, the sale or transfer of membership interests may not automatically grant the transferee the rights to participate in the management of the LLC, unless the operating agreement provides for this or the existing members consent to it. On the other hand, corporations have a more straightforward process for transferring ownership, especially in the case of publicly traded corporations. The shares of stock that signify ownership in a corporation are freely transferable on the open market, unless restricted by a shareholder agreement. The transfer of shares automatically confers both ownership and management rights to the transferee, making it a more fluid and less restrictive process compared to LLCs. This ease of transferability in corporations facilitates the raising of capital and liquidity for shareholders. It\\u2019s one of the reasons why corporations are a preferred entity type for businesses that intend to go public or seek investments from a broader base of investors.

The certificate validates that the LLC is up to date with its state filing requirements, fee payments, and any other mandated obligations in the state where it was registered. An LLC might require a Certificate of Good Standing for various reasons.

Second, it may be required when an LLC is involved in certain financial transactions, such as securing funding from lenders or entering into contracts with other businesses. The certificate reassures the other parties that the LLC is a well-maintained, legitimate entity, adhering to state compliance requirements. Additionally, if the LLC is looking to sell its business or merge with another entity, a Certificate of Good Standing will likely be required to confirm that the LLC is in a compliant status before proceeding with the transaction.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is a foreign qualification?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A foreign qualification is a legal process that allows an LLC or another business entity to operate and conduct business in a state other than the one where it was originally formed. When an LLC is formed, it\\u2019s automatically authorized to do business only in the state of its formation. However, if the LLC wishes to expand its operations to other states, it must obtain approval from each of those states by going through the foreign qualification process. This process typically involves filing specific documents with the Secretary of State or the relevant state agency, paying the necessary filing fees, and appointing a registered agent in the foreign state to receive legal and official communications on behalf of the LLC. The necessity for foreign qualification arises when an LLC has a continuous and systematic presence or conducts business in a state other than its home state. This might include having a physical office, employees, bank accounts, or significant sales activities in the foreign state. The foreign qualification ensures that the LLC is compliant with the laws and regulations of the state where it seeks to do business. It also provides a legal platform for the LLC to enforce contracts and access the courts in the foreign state. Without foreign qualification, an LLC may face fines, back taxes, and other penalties, and may be denied the right to bring a lawsuit in the foreign state. Therefore, foreign qualification is a crucial step for LLCs planning to operate across state lines, helping ensure legal compliance and smooth business operations in each state.\"}}]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/about/#author\",\"name\":\"Team ZenBusiness\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https://res.cloudinary.com/zenbusiness/q_auto,w_96,h_96,c_lfill/v1/shared-assets/icon/misc/rovie-bot.svg\",\"url\":\"https://res.cloudinary.com/zenbusiness/q_auto,w_96,h_96,c_lfill/v1/shared-assets/icon/misc/rovie-bot.svg\",\"caption\":\"Team ZenBusiness\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},\"sameAs\":[\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site\"],\"worksFor\":{\"@id\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/#organization\"}},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"name\":\"Business Formations\",\"item\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/business-structures/\",\"position\":\"1\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"name\":\"LLC\",\"position\":\"2\"}]},{\"headline\":\"About ZenBusiness Inc.\",\"description\":\"An all-in-one business platform with trusted guidance for small business owners.

This might include having a physical office, employees, bank accounts, or significant sales activities in the foreign state. The foreign qualification ensures that the LLC is compliant with the laws and regulations of the state where it seeks to do business. It also provides a legal platform for the LLC to enforce contracts and access the courts in the foreign state. Without foreign qualification, an LLC may face fines, back taxes, and other penalties, and may be denied the right to bring a lawsuit in the foreign state. Therefore, foreign qualification is a crucial step for LLCs planning to operate across state lines, helping ensure legal compliance and smooth business operations in each state.\"}}]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/about/#author\",\"name\":\"Team ZenBusiness\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https://res.cloudinary.com/zenbusiness/q_auto,w_96,h_96,c_lfill/v1/shared-assets/icon/misc/rovie-bot.svg\",\"url\":\"https://res.cloudinary.com/zenbusiness/q_auto,w_96,h_96,c_lfill/v1/shared-assets/icon/misc/rovie-bot.svg\",\"caption\":\"Team ZenBusiness\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},\"sameAs\":[\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site\"],\"worksFor\":{\"@id\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/#organization\"}},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"name\":\"Business Formations\",\"item\":\"http://zenbusiness.docksal.site/business-structures/\",\"position\":\"3\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"name\":\"LLC\",\"position\":\"4\"}]},{\"headline\":\"About ZenBusiness Inc.\",\"description\":\"An all-in-one business platform with trusted guidance for small business owners.

Thanks for filing this @juniorzenb 🙏

Looks like RM Pro is using a string for the price instead of a float, but interestingly RM free uses the latter. It should be an easy fix, but I want to make sure I catch all the possibilities - would you be able to share how your entire Rank Math schema is configured for that particular about page?

juniorzenb commented 3 months ago

@justlevine this is the schema:

Thanks @juniorzenb - that last image is cut off, can you confirm that the only price you're using is under offers?

juniorzenb commented 3 months ago

Hi @justlevine, sorry to answer late. I attached the rest of the image. And yes that's the only price that I am using.
