It seems as if our business fell our of Google listings completely after switching over to wordpress with vantage premium. I see older threads saying there was a fix with child mode for the error of author and date.
Is there any fix as we need to get back on search engines. Thanks.

Hi Yoav
Thanks for reaching out.
Do you know for sure that your last theme was completely passing the structured data test?
How are you testing your site now?
When running your URL through the tool here: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ I get an all clear result.
Here is the last child theme we created to target this challenge:
https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/vantage-child-google-auth-august-2015.zip
To try it out:
1. Download the ZIP.
2. Install from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme.
3. Test it out. If you’re happy:
4. Redo Appearance > Menu location settings.
5. Redo Appearance > Customizer settings.
4 & 5 reset in WordPress when a child theme is activated.
Given the pass though on the testing tool, I’m not sure you need to go the child theme route. If you can confirm how you’re testing this, we can investigate further.
