Fix Missing required field “updated”

  • Unknown's avatar

    I know the solution to this but in order to fix this on my blog hosted by WordPress I have to pay to upgrade – using a feature only available in the upgrade that allows me to customize the CSS for my current theme. As far as I can tell, this is the only solution I have found. Is there a way around this so that way Google’s Webmaster Tools can fully crawl through my pages without errors? This feels like a silly single thing to pay for an upgrade for.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    As I’m not clear on what you mean I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  • Hi there!

    Could you please clarify on what crawl errors you’re receiving in Google Webmaster Tools? Please paste them here so I can have a look. I’m fairly certain that the Custom Design upgrade won’t help in clearing those errors. Looking forward to your reply!

    In the following section:
    Structured Data > hatom (markup: microformats.org)
    Status: 5/23/14

    Every single post – some more than others – is returning the error “Missing: updated”.

  • Hi there! I’ve asked our developers to have a look at the issue and I’ll be sure to get back to you when I hear from them. Thanks for your patience!

  • Hi there!

    Unfortunately, I learned that adherence to Google’s Structured Data is something we don’t particularly support in our themes at the moment. Sorry about that!

    Alternately, a self-hosted WordPress.org blog might be worth looking into if you’d like to delve into your theme’s coding and solve the issues you’re having.
