Hi all,

I read with great interest your solution to fixing the “missing author” and “missing updated” hentry errors (see https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/how-to-fix-missing-author-and-missing-updated-errors/).

Since I have the same issue, I tried adding the code mentioned in that thread to my child theme’s functions.php. However it threw up a php error referencing another mod I have which auto-adds the Author box to all blog posts (which I got from https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/add-authors-meta-next-to-post-entrys-text/ )

The php error that I get is:

“PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare custom_author_code() (previously declared in –path to–/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php:34) in –path to–/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 99″ while reading response header from upstream

(I’ve appended “–path to–” to the above to help keep things clear)

FYI line 34 refers to function custom_author_code($content) { in the following:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'custom_author_code');

function custom_author_code($content) {
  if ( is_singular('post') ) {
    return $content . do_shortcode('[x_author title="About the Author"]') ;
  } else {
    return $content;
  }
}

and line 99 refers to the final curly bracket (i.e. ‘}’ ) in:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'custom_author_code');

function custom_author_code($content) {
   if (is_singular() || is_single()) {
      return $content . 
      '<div class="hatom-extra hidden"><span class="title">'. get_the_title() .'</span> was last modified: <span class="updated"> '. get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y') .'</span> by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">'. get_the_author() .'</span></span></div>' ;
   } else {
      return $content;
   }
}

How do I have both mods play nicely with each other?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi there @Gee,

Thanks for writing in!

To fix the issue, replace the second instance of the code with this:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'fix_google_hentry_errors');

function fix_google_hentry_errors($content) {
   if (is_singular() || is_single()) {
      return $content . 
      '<div class="hatom-extra hidden"><span class="title">'. get_the_title() .'</span> was last modified: <span class="updated"> '. get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y') .'</span> by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">'. get_the_author() .'</span></span></div>' ;
   } else {
      return $content;
   }
}

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

The solution was as simple as naming the function something else? D’oh!

Glad to hear it’s now sorted. 🙂
