Structured data (errors): Missing required fields (updated, author); Suits theme
-
Greetings Everyone,
In webmaster tools, I’m getting a slew of errors (in structured data – hatom), actually all pages are showing this:
– Missing required field: author
– Missing required field: updatedThere is a solution (cf. https://www.acceleratormarketing.com/trench-report/google-analytics-errors-and-structured-data/), but I can’t use it on wordpress.com (I can’t access to php files). And I want neither to be self-hosted nor to switch for wordpress.org (for now).
I hope that wordpress team (or Suits theme team) will be able to help me resolve my issue (while bringing back these missing fields).
Best regards.
Have a good day.
(Sorry about my ugly english)

@elevu1862 – Thanks for the report! I’m working on reproducing this on my side. I’ll report back as soon as I have more information!

No problem! I’m still waiting for the Webmaster Tools to update on my site. I’ll reply back as soon as I have more information.

Hi!
The Webmaster Tools data is now loading for my test site with the Suits theme. I used the Structured Data Testing Tool found here:
https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
When I ran a test post, I’m only receiving one warning:
Can you let me know how you’re testing your site when you see these errors?

Hi,
I’m testing here :
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/structured-data?hl=fr&siteUrl=http://taccuinu.org/
(I know you cant get here, but it shows you where it is in the tools)
My interface is in french, so I can’t give better explanations/translations about the navigation menu inside the tools.
So I give you the URL.I have published only 20 articles and 8 pages. But tools mention 32 errors.
– For all articles, and all tags pages (ex. : /tag/demarche/), and all categories pages (ex. : /category/aux-sources/) (and pages like /page/2/) : field updated is missing
– For all pages : fields author and updated are missingIf that don’t help you, tell me. I’ll try to explain in a better way.
Thanks again for your help. -
Thanks for providing the additional data! I’m on a similar URL:
However, when I visit that page, I see this screen:
I don’t see the errors you’re describing. Perhaps the Webmaster Tools just hasn’t had enough time to report back the errors just yet.
-
Thanks! I’ll give it a bit longer for Webmaster Tools to load some errors on my side. I’ll set a reminder for three days from now!

Hi!
I’m still not seeing any errors on my side. I’m not sure what is going wrong with the current Webmaster setup on my side.
In any case, I took a look at the errors you mentioned originally:
– Missing required field: author
We do provide this in the Open Graph tags as shown here:
– Missing required field: updated
I do not see this field in the markup. However, we do use Published and Modified, which should serve a similar purpose.
I also ran your site through the Structured Data Testing tool here:
https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
I didn’t come across any major errors. As of right now, I don’t believe these are errors you need to worry about!
-
Ok.
I don’t understand why the webmaster Tools are angry, but I’m trust you and your work.In any case, thanks a lot for your attention and for the time and the efforts that you’ve spent for this issue.
So … I won’t worry any more!
