Hi there,

Would you open a new topic and let us know what code you used to transparent navbar so we can help you with this.

Thanks.

Hi,

I didn’t use any code. The navbar was always fixed to the top. I think It maybe unrelated to my previous post.

Thanks

Hi again,

Sorry It’s me being stupid I accidentally changed a setting in the customiser DOH!

Thanks though,

Clint.

[ChristopherModerator]

Glad you were able to fix this.

Does this fix included in the 4.0 release? Thanks!

[RadModerator]

Hi Luke,

I think not yet, but I’ll follow up on this. We’ve been busy with the new builder and 4.0, but we never forgot all feature requests and bug list. We will get into that 😉

Thanks!

Hello ThemeCo Staffers.
I’m researching this problem. Has it been updated (yet) on X Theme? I’m a little disappointed that a theme which boasts awesome SEO, does not meet this (basic) requirement without intervention or playing with code.
Thanks
Luke

Hey Luke,

I’ve tested our demo pages with Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool and the result was all good.

X includes basic Structured data markup. Advanced or custom Structured data setup however is the user’s responsibility to implement as this is a tricky setup and depends on per website basis. With that said, this can’t be easily incorporated into a theme.

Please take note that Search Engine Optimized themes does not mean it has options for specific Structured data implementation. Additionally, no theme (even with structured data in place) can boost your search engine ranking in and of itself. It requires proper website setup which only the user can do. What’s included with X is clean and semantic code which is beneficial for on page search engine optimization and marketing and SEO training from experts which you can learn at https://community.theme.co/xip/.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I agree mostly agree with you about SEO.
I get the same (good) results as you on Structured Data testing of my site: http://lukechiodo.com but like others, my enquiry is specific to the missing author and missing date updated fields, which return ‘errors’ in the Google dashboard (see link) that not seen in the image shown above.
I’ve added the code as you’ve previously advised, but more importantly, do you plan adding Author and Date Updated modifications as permanent ‘fixes’ to the X Theme?
Thanks again.
Luke

This has been submitted to our list of feature request and most probably, our development team will add it. There is currently no timeline for this yet though.

Thank you for understanding.

Having the same problem.

If this hasn’t been solved in 9 months, I guess I won’t hold my breath.

@charliepryor Have you found a solution for this?

I’ve done some research and there’s a wordpress thread with this solution

Fixing the “Missing: updated” error
We will need to wrap a span tag around the date element and add the classes “post-date updated”.

1. Locate the call for the date, it looks something like this:

<?php the_date(); ?>

2. Wrap a span tag around the last snippet of code with classes “post-date updated”, should look like this:

<span class="post-date updated"><?php the_date(); ?></span>

Fixing the “Missing: author” error
1. Locate the following author item within your single.php file:

<?php the_author(); ?>

2. Change that to:

<span class="vcard author post-author"><span class="fn"><?php the_author(); ?></span></span>

Would this work for X? If so, where should these changes be applied, since the code on single.php doesn’t match to this explanation.

Hi there,

It’s properly applied on X theme, but here is the issue :

When google webmaster tool fetches your site and find any hentry, it expects that its content has date and author. The problem in wordpress is, hentry is automatically added on posts class by wordpress itself.

Check this out https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-webmaster-tools-structured-data-microformatmicrodata-hentry-errors, and there is available fix.

It can be removed, but as wordpress standard coding, hentry should be applied by default.

One of X feature that is being affected is ethos carousel and slider. That’s because they are just simple posts loop with posts class. Thus, hentry is applied too. Carousel and slider aren’t part of microformats so it should be excluded from hentry. The problem is, identifying the loop/query if it’s from carousel, slider, or blog articles.

I think it should not hurt your site adding the code provided from that given url. But, if you’re relying on hentry for SEO, then that’s the problem 🙂

You may add the code at your child theme’s functions.php

Hope this helps.

[themerParticipant]

I’m getting these errors for all individual posts. (I do use ethos)

What would be the recommended fix for X? Since all the fixes I read are for other themes, and they all vary. Could you give me a code that I can add, letting me know where to add it exactly? I wouldn’t want to mess with other theme’s fixes, since I’m code-illiterate.

Thanks for your time 🙂

Hi there,

The first provided solution in this thread should fix both “Missing Author” and “Updated” errors. Please follow this post: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/structured-data-testing-tool-by-google-webmaster/#post-176632

Thanks!

[themerParticipant]

I’ll try that, thanks. 🙂

Will update this with the results.
