Missing Author and Updated in Google Webmaster tools

  • Using Cutomizr theme with Yoast plugin I have successfully established a link to Google plus for authorship. However, in Googles Webmaster tools I have these errors for the

    hatom-feed:
    Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

    I have found a number of sites with the same solution for this problem which require editing the single.php file. However, I can’t find a single.php anywhere in my server directories.

    Has anybody found a fix for this problem? I’m quite happy to edit code if I know where to look and how to fix it.

    I am having the same problem running WordPress 4.1 with the Customizr theme. WordPress, Customizr and all plugins are updated. Please advise if I should add the code below to my child theme’s functions php? This code was from the previous post. Thanks!

    add_filter( ‘the_author’, ‘my_the_author’, 10, 1 );
    function my_the_author($author){
    if ( ! $author )
    return null;
    return sprintf(‘<span class=”vcard author”><span class=”fn”>%1$s</span></span>’, $author);
    }

    Good Evening,

    I’m fairly new to this thread, but I too am experiencing the same issue.

    Within Google Webmaster Tools I’m receiving the following error for my Pages:
    Missing: author
    Missing: updated

    I have Customizr 3.3.1

    Thanks,

    Thomas
