Rich Snippets Error WordPress
- SOLVED
Receiving the following error in Rich Snippets tool for hatom-entry and can't seem to find a solution:
Error: At least one field must be set for Hcard.
Error: Missing required field "name (fn)".
I am using Sterling theme for Wordpress and currently have edited the posted by section in the single.php file to say:
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo">
<?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class=”fn”><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }
but the issue still persists after testing again.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
Try this
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo hentry">
<?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class=”fn” itemprop="author"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }

I deleted my original and replaced it with your but it didnt work so I reverted back
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Okay.
Add new class "hentry" to <article class="preview blog-main-preview">
So it would be like
<article class="preview blog-main-preview hentry">
Then change class=”fn” to class="fn" in the original code that you shared.
now its rendering like this <span class="”fn”"> in your blog post.(You can see it in firebug/ inspect element.)

Not sure what you want me to change in your sentence, Then change class=”fn” to class="fn" in the original code that you shared
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Add new class "hentry" to <article class="preview blog-main-preview">
Then use following code
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo">
<?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class="fn"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }

I changed it per your recommendations and that issue is fixed but now a set set of errors occurred:
Error: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.
Error: Missing required field "entry-title".
Error: Missing required field "updated".
Error: Missing required hCard "author".
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Revert it back.
What if when you use this code alone?
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo hentry">
<?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class="fn"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }

I took away hentry from <article class="preview blog-main-preview"> and tried your code and still receive errors. You can see the errors here: http://goo.gl/LuN9gI
Thanks for your help

Thank you Hariprasad, that seemed to have fixed it for each individual blog post. When I look the the blog overall in the testing tools, it still provides the same errors: http://goo.gl/DDyljy
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
could you show the blog page code?
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
<span class="fn"> is missing in blog page, please find the code and add it like single blog page.

Can you share the link where you are getting the error?

Im getting it on all blog posts but here an example of a post - http://goo.gl/ENCsGJ
Navjot Singh comments:
Try changing <span class="metadata postinfo"> to <span class="vcard author metadata postinfo">
berkoz912 comments:
Added it and it's currently set to that but doesnt seem to have changed in testing tool
Navjot Singh comments:
Try replacing <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> with <?php the_author(); ?>
berkoz912 comments:
Tried that and the issue still exists. Thanks for your continuing help.
Navjot Singh comments:
Where did you change? I still see the same old code there.
berkoz912 comments:
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo"><?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class=”fn”><?php the_author(); ?></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }
Navjot Singh comments:
The code has a missing close span. You are closing the span for metadata and the date. But the author one doesn't close.
Change it to
<?php
if ( 'true' == $posted_by ) { ?>
<span class="metadata postinfo"><?php _e( 'Posted by ', 'tt_theme_framework' );?> <span class="vcard author"><span class=”fn”><?php the_author(); ?></span></span> <?php _e( ' on ', 'tt_theme_framework' ); ?> <span class="date updated"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
</span>
<?php }
