Missing: author Missing: updated

Problem Solved:

You must edit the template-tags.php to fix the missing author and update from google console.

First Locate the file using your file manager. Create a backup first before editing the file.

/wp-content/themes/editorial/inc/template-tags.php

To fix the Missing Updated locate this code.

function editorial_posted_on() {
	$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
	if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
		$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time><time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
	}

then replace this code:

function editorial_posted_on() {
	$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
	if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
		$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time><time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
	}

To Fix the missing Author locate this code again:

$byline = sprintf(
		esc_html_x( '%s', 'post author', 'editorial' ),
		'<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ) . '">' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . '</a></span>'
	);

Then replace it with this code:

$byline = sprintf(
		esc_html_x( '%s', 'post author', 'editorial' ),
		'<span class="vcard author post-author"><span class="fn"><?php the_author(); ?></span></span>
		<a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ) . '">' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . '</a></span>'
	);

Then save changes. I hope this helps everyone here.
