Twenty-Eleven Warning: Missing required field "updated"

  • Resolved sdpate48

    12 years, 3 months ago

    I am getting the rich snippets message “Warning: Missing required field “updated””

    None of the fixes for twenty-eleven have worked.

    The I checked the source on one of my posts” Windows 8 You and Me Together”

    On line 194 is the HTML code “<style type=”text/css”><span class=”updated”><?php echo get_the_date(); ?> </span></style>

    And on 335 is the value “<span class=”updated”>December 10, 2012 </span>”

    So the value “updated” is there but the Google snippets tool does not see it.

    Can anyone tell me where my problem is? Thanks

  • Hi sdpate,

    I just had a look at your website. Google is looking for the “updated” class in <time class="entry-date" …

    I ran into the same problem myself where I could find no up to date tutorials on how to fix this, so I delved into the code and resolved it myself. Hopefully the tutorial I wrote can save people some time on this issue.

    This was answered by Daniel Marquard

    Essentially the problem is the “time class=”entry-date””

    needs to match Google’s spec “time class=”entry-date updated””

    functions.php line 581
