Structured Data breed authority Issue

[Lee Barnfield]

Hi mate,

I’ve gone through all the steps advised by Google to get structured data setup correctly, but unfortunately I think the steps I need to take have something to do with the theme, and links to data I cannot update/edit. The error I receive is ‘Page does not contain authorship markup’

The guidelines I am following are in here;

Is there anything you can advise to get this running?

Regards

Although this is not a required feature, I was looking to setup structured data with an update of this theme, but I have not been able to set time aside for this yet due to my heavy schedule. I’m not sure how soon you need this, but you may have to wait a bit longer until I implement the theme update. If you are in a rush, you will need to follow their instructions and try it once again. You will definitely need to edit the theme files, but for this one, you should do it from a child theme because of what needs to be modified….and there are a lot of places in the theme files to make changes.

I guess as it can affect CTR it is quite important, but not as important as destroying the theme which is what will happen if I attempt it.

Do you have a rough guide to when you think the theme can be edited? I see it as a great USP for the theme.

I will try for the end of this week.

So will that be offered as an update for all?

@stefano….yes

[Sushil Adhikari]

Update for everyone…I believe I managed to get the structured data into the theme, so the update version of Celestial Reloaded will be available tomorrow.

Hi there!

Any news on the update release date please?

Already done and live for download. You can read more about the update here:

Update Info

There’s different methods of structured data, but I believe I got the basics in there.

Appreciate the update, time to figure the Google ‘needs’…

Before i look into the changes, the search function that you’ve added (thank you), it doubles the width of the ‘social icon bar’. Is there an option to put this back to how it should be please?

Further works.

I ran the update and i still have trouble with the structured data side where i receive the following errors on Gogole’s Webnmaster tools. they are as follows;

Missing: author
Missing: entry-title
Missing: updated

The following page states entering this code will fix the issue. Before entering the code, i wanted to see if you could confirm that please?

//mod content
function hatom_mod_post_content ($content) {
  if ( in_the_loop() && !is_page() ) {
    $content = ''.$content.'';
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'hatom_mod_post_content');

//add hatom data
function add_mod_hatom_data($content) {
    $t = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
    $author = get_the_author();
    $title = get_the_title();
    if(is_single()) {
        $content .= '
'.$title.' was last modified:  '.$t.' by '.$author.'
';
    }
    return $content;
    }
add_filter('the_content', 'add_mod_hatom_data');

Search field, there’s a setting to disable it in the Basic Settings of the customizer.”Show Top Search”

As for structure data problems… not sure why you are getting errors. I popped in a url to the testing tool for one of the posts on my demo site and it looks like things are working, just that I don’t have anything setup such as email verification or google+ for this, so it gives notice for that. Give me a link to one of your posts where I can test this myself…but you want to make sure you have your authorship setup correctly as well.

As for that code… you can try that if you want, but I seen where it doesn’t work for some people.
**By the way, when posting code, please highlight the code, then on the forum editor, click on the code button on the editor….I just did that to your code which puts it in the wrapper.
