How to Fix Publisher Error, dateModified and datePublished

In the Structured Data Testing Tool you can test or check the data information for your blog. If there is a sign of error, it means that you have not entered the correct information. There are various errors in the Structured Data Testing Tool. And here is how to fix the Structured Data Testing Tool on the blog.

Error Headline "A value for headline field is required"

If you find the message "A value for headline field is required" when checking the data structure, then you can do the method below to fix it.

Look for the code below

<h1 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>  
<h2 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> 
<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>

And replace with headlines

<h1 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='headline'> 
<h2 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='headline'> 
<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='headline'>

Maybe h1 can be more than 1, as well as h2 and h3. So if there is itemprop ='name' behind it just replace it with itemprop ='headline'.

Error Image, Publisher and MainEntityOfPage

If you see an error code "A value for image field is required" and the error code "A value for publisher field is required" fix it by searching for the code below.

<article class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'>

And after finding it, put the following code under the code

<div itemType='https://schema.org/WebPage' itemprop='mainEntityOfPage' itemscope='itemscope'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.firstImageUrl'>
<div itemprop='image' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ImageObject'>  
<meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' itemprop='url'/>  
<meta content='600' itemprop='width'/>  
<meta content='300' itemprop='height'/>  
</div>    
</b:if>  
<div itemprop='publisher' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Organization'>    
<div itemprop='logo' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ImageObject'>     
<meta content='URL LOGO BLOG ANDA' itemprop='url'/>      
<meta content='300' itemprop='width'/>      
<meta content='300' itemprop='height'/>    
</div>    
<meta expr:content='data:blog.title' itemprop='name'/>  
</div>

DateModified and datePublished error

If you find an error on dateModified and datePublished look for the code below.

<a class='updated' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='updated' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601' itemprop='datePublished'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>

And change by adding the code <span itemprop='dateModified'> at the beginning and at the end </span>, which will be like this

<span itemprop='dateModified'>
<a class='updated' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='updated' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601' itemprop='datePublished'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
</span>

If dateModified and datePublished are still errors. Keep using the method above, save the template, then go to Settings> Language and Formatting then change the three things below.

1. Date Header Format
2. Timestamp format
3. The Comment Time Stamp Format

With the format (Day, Month Date, Year) example Monday, Sept 10, 2016.

Error Missing Author (hCard "Author")

After all the codes do not appear an error message, usually like Missing Author. You can fix it by searching for the code.

<data:post.body/>

And put the following code below it

 <!-- hCard"author" Start -->
<span class='post-author vcard' style='display:none'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showAuthor'>
<data:top.authorLabel/>
<b:if cond='data:post.authorProfileUrl'>
<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'>
<meta expr:content='data:post.authorProfileUrl' itemprop='url'/>
<a class='g-profile' expr:href='data:post.authorProfileUrl' rel='author' title='author profile'>
<span itemprop='name'>
<data:post.author/>
</span>
</a>
</span>
<b:else/>
<span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'><data:post.author/>
</span>
</span>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>
<!-- hCard"author" End -->
