This
is the most common problem face by every blogger when they try to claim Authorship for their websites on Google Structured Data Testing Tool. When they enter their website address and click on Preview button an error message display on 'Extracted structured data' area:
1. Error: Missing
require field “updated”.
2. Error: Missing
required hCard “author”.
Here
I give a simple method for solving this problem.
To
solve this problem just follow these simple steps:-
1. At first go
to your Blogspot Dashboard and click on Template
2. Now click on
Edit HTML and search for the words “hfeed” and “hentry”.
3. Now replace
“hfeed” to
“h-feed”
and “hentry” to
“h-entry” on every where on your template.
4. Finally save
your template.
Now check
your Authorship marking warning using Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
Now you can see that your problem is solved.
If this method doesn’t work, try the second method.
1. Go
to Blogger Dashboard and click on Template
2. Now
click on Edit HTML and find the words “timestamp-link” and “published”.
<a class='timestamp-link'
expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr
class='published'
expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
3. Now
change the word “published” to “updated published”.
<a class='timestamp-link'
expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr
class='updated published'
expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
4. Now
save your template and test again your Authorship on Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
