    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Ziga

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Please see the child theme provided here for Google Data testing: Thread: Error: Missing required field “updated”. Error: Missing required hCard “author”..

    If your page has no page title, if the page template is set to Full Width No Page Title or Page Builder home then you will get an error for missing entry title. You can resolve this by changing the page template to Full Width and then using CSS to hide the page title.

    To hide your page title on pages using Full Width page templates try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Vantage Hide Page Title on Full Width Page Templates */
    
    .page-template-templatestemplate-full-php .entry-header {
    display: none;
    }
    

    The closing link tag you’d like to edit are all created by plugins. I’m not quite sure how you’d go about changing those in an upgrade safe manner. It would involve some intermediate level work. I think you’d need to create a plugin of your own for each of those plugins and filter the way the stylesheets are being inserted.

    The closing slash isn’t the problem there though. The validator is querying a missing required attribute property.

    Hi and thank you for fast response,

    My settings for Vantage theme are:
    Responsive Layout: Activated
    Layout Bound: Full Width

    So i am using Full Width for website and added the css but still i have the:
    Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.
    Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

    I have read the post and like “Bali Tours” i have Vantage premium and i have tryed the chiled theme and still the problem remains i have also tried “http://fivera.net/hatom-feed-hatom-entry-error-wordpress-solution/” but cant find the file to edit the code (i found the file thet the article describes but found none of the code to edit)

    this is what i got when i tested the website

    Obtained structured data
    hatom-feed
    hatom-entry:
    Error: At the least one field ‘must be set for HatomEntry.
    Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.
    Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.
    Error: At the least one field ‘must be set for HatomEntry.
    Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.

    One more thing i found this http://www.davidtiong.com/dt-hatom-error-removal-plugin/ it is saposed to fixed this errors do u know if this will work whit Vantage premium?

    Hi, I Work Here

    To confirm, the layout I’m referring to is specifically the page template. If you, on a given page, select Full Width, No Page Title as your page template, then the page title will be removed from the code. The solution is to use the regular Full Width Page, page template and then hide the title with Custom CSS as outlined above. That would solve these errors:

    Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.
    Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

    Hopefully that makes more sense. Basically, check your page template for the pages you’re testing. If you are using Full Width, No Page Title then you will get errors because the entry title, updated date and author will get dropped.

    I unfortunately haven’t tested the plugin you’re referring to. You’d need to give it a try.

    O i see so the “Full Width, No Page Title” was making the problem thank you …. i read somewhere that this errors are important if i would use my site as a blog or similar but i will not use it as a blog so i dont need to fix this is this true?

    Thank you for your time and help :D

    O i have a little off topic question do u have any advice on what to do to get sitelinks?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Glad to hear you made progress there.

    I’m afraid I don’t have much marketing or off-the-page SEO experience. http://moz.com/ is perhaps a good place to start research methods.

    Thank you will look in to it :D
