Structured Data Authorship

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

I've just successfully set up authorship for a client according to the rich snippet testing tool although bit perplexed since underneath the results theres a section called 'Extracted Structured Data'. The first section is marked hatom feed and under that it says under the field saying 'Author' it says in red:

Warning: At least one field must be set for Hcard.Warning: Missing required field "name (fn)".And then under the URL field & the URL it says:Warning: Missing required field "entry-title".Any ideas what this means or even if its important ? I would have thought the tool wouldnt acknowledge authorship as being set up correctly if this was an issue but that does beg the question what is it doing there and what does it mean ?Theres another section after that called rdfa node which seems all fineAlso says page does not contain publisher mark up although i know publisher has been added to the home page, is it best to add publisher to head section in every page (as i have heard some people say) or just the home page ?Many ThanksDan

ok thanks Chris but its not something to do with Yoast (platforms wordpress) ?

the instruction would just be that getting warning signs in rich snippet testing tool and needs to be fixed !

Also just to confirm this is nothing to do with authorship (since that tested fine) & its just other structured date detected on the page ?

cheers

You may have your developer deal with it but you'll have to give them instructions on what your problem is and what the fix will accomplish.  There may be a number of causes, depending on your platform so the developer may need to dig a little to come up with the fix.  I wouldn't expect it to take long though.

thanks Chris

so does that mean its a prob with how the website was set up and should just send these instructions to the developer or something i (the seo) can/should be able to do via Yoast plugin ?

Cheers
