Yes the advice here is correct.
When a Product with Zero $0 price is advertised, Google will whinge that empty "offers itemprop: [red]price[/red]" is a required rich snippet field and a [red]red Error[/red]. The only consequence here is that, when this Product is displayed in Google Search Results, there will be no Unit Price displayed and no other rich snippet information either.
> Google search for "[brown]Vittoria Corsa Evo CX III 23-28[/brown]" and there is your Product, page 1, rank 1, no rich snippets.
> Google search for "[brown]2019 Campagnolo Chorus Brake Set Dual Pivot[/brown]" and there is your Product, page 1, rank 5, but this time with rich snippet information displayed: [purple]USD 99.95 Out of stock[/purple]
For Products with Zero $0 price, one way to completely eliminate that Google Search Console [red]red Error[/red] is to [url="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=112671"][blue]enter the webpage as an Article >>[/blue][/url]
Otherwise, if these Products are really "Discontinued and Unavailable", then disable that menu Category and do not advertise the Products therein on your website at all. (Submit a new sitemap.xml)
Ignore missing "[orange]review[/orange]" and "[orange]aggregateRating[/orange]" [orange](optional) warnings[/orange] when Product has Zero reviews entered. Snippets will be provided in code after a review is entered.
Ignore missing "[orange]priceValidUntil[/orange]" [orange](optional) warning[/orange]. No solution, unless itemprop="priceValidUntil" was entered manually by hand somewhere in the description. (Unlikely)
Ignore missing "[orange]brand[/orange]" [orange](optional) warning[/orange]. No solution, unless this was entered manually by hand somewhere in the description, like this <span itemprop="brand">ECT</span>.
We have [url="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111674"][blue]discussed this before >>[/blue][/url]
Resolve missing "[orange]sku[/orange]" [orange](optional) warning[/orange] by entering an SKU in Product Admin. And if you do not have an SKU, then just make up some SKU Order Code. Don't leave this field blank. (And the [navy]$detailpagelayout[/navy] [url="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/parameters.asp#csslayout"][blue]parameter in your includes.php file[/blue][/url] must include sku)
Resolve missing "[orange]No global identifier provided[/orange]" [orange](optional) warning[/orange] by adding this entry to your [maroon]includes.php[/maroon] config file:
[font=Courier New][navy]$skuschemaidentifier="mpn";[/navy] [orange]// New v7.1.1, solves Structured Data WARNING: This product is missing a global identifier (e.g. isbn, mpn or gtin8)[/orange][/font=Courier New]
Don't fuss too much about any of those [orange](optional) warnings[/orange]. But there is advice how to clean up some of them, if desired.
