The following is missing: author. The following is missing: updated.

Hello MuffinGroup.

I am very happy with BeTheme. Now I have a question, which I could not answer with Google and your forum.

Recently I have a problem. My Google Search Console throws this error on most of my pages:
  • The following is missing: author.
  • The following is missing: updated.

Here is a picture:

I searched for these entries in page.php, single.php
  • <? php the_author (); ?>
and
  • <? php the_date (); ?>

I have not found both entries.

Many have solved the problem by changing these 2 lines to these:
  • <span class = "vcardauthor"> <span class = "fn"> <? php the_author (); ?> </ span> </ span>
and
  • <span class = "updated"> <? php the_modified_date (); ?> </ span>


Can I solve this with you? I've really searched everywhere, and can't solve the problem. Many thanks for your help.

  • Hi,

    What you ask for, requires files customization what in reference to Item Support Policy is not allowed. So if you want to modify files and don't know how, you should contact with your web developer. Item Policy clearly says:
    Item support does not include services to modify or extend the item beyond the original features, style and functionality described on the item page. For customization services that will help you tailor the item to your specific requirements, we recommend contacting the author to see if they privately offer paid customisation services or checking out the great service providers on Envato Studio

    thanks

    Hello.

    Of course I do not want to change anything. What I suggested above was just a call for help because I am dubious.

    My Webhoster says:
    This is a problem with the BETHEME theme.

    Yoast Pro says:
    Are you getting the missing hCard "author" or similar hEntry / microformat error in Google's structured data testing tool (live results) or in Google SearchConsole (cached results)? This is an issue with your theme, not with any of our plugins.

    Do I need to buy a support from you to solve this problem?
    I'm ready for that.

    Because of this problem I get a bad rank at google. The problem can only be due to BETHEME, because I have not changed anything.

    I've already found these topics from you, where others had the same problem:
    http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/20563/structured-data-hentry-markup-microformats-org
    http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/9645/update-is-missing-in-webmaster-tools

    Here you say that the problem is already fixed, why I have that then?:
    http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/8766/structured-data-error

    Do I need to activate any function? Is something going away? As I said, I do not want to change the files, I am only looking for a solution to display in hEntry the author and updated.

    Please give me some advice, I would be so grateful to you ..

    Best regards

    After hours search, I think I solved the problem.

    For people who have a hEntry problem, This is how I proceeded:

    Dashboard > BeTheme> Theme Options> Blog, Portfolio & Shop >

    There I have, "Post Metadata" 2 checkboxes set under AUTOR and DATE

    Here is a screenshot:

    In Google Test Tool for Structured Data, updated and author is now displayed. Now I'm waiting for Google to recognize the two hEntry entries in the Google Search Console (Webmaster Tools). Then I give you feedback. Perhaps that solves the problem.

    Support, perhaps you could answer me now this question, since the problem from above probably no longer exists:

    In my articles, this sentence is in the upper left corner
    Published by DECENTRALBOX at February 16, 2017 (Example: https://decentralbox.com/was-ist-monero-xmr/)

    Can I display this instead of the top left, below, after the article?
    If it does not go under the article, would it work in the middle?

    I hid it meanwhile with this code:
    .post-meta .author-date { display: none; }

    Best Regards

  • Hello

    Is there no answer from you?

    Is something missing, a license or something? Where can I buy this for the support?

  • Sorry, we thought you did not have more question, our fault.
    Could you provide some screenshots to this problem for better understanding.
  • Hey AltcoinTrader,

    thank you for submitting the way it worked.

    I had the same problem with google search console, made the changes you did and in live-test it directly was shown as no more problem.

    Thanks a lot !
