    Hi, anybody has any idea on how to well implement Rich snippets for articles on WordPress?

    I can see google is asking since 1-3 months the thumbnails to be marked in a specific way: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/articles

    For example in my sites I am having now this kind of errors (from google snippets validator):

    image:	https://mysite.com/myimage.jpg
author:	missing and required
name:	missing and required
publisher:	missing and required
mainEntityOfPage:	missing and recommended

    Is there a way or a plugin that allows me to choose an author, publisher, etc for the thumbnails?
    This is to meet the new google guidelines for articles snippets

    The missing author, name, publisher data relates to your article, not the thumbnail. The image field is for a representative image for the article. The image should not be a thumbnail unless your thumbnails are over 696px wide.

    There are several plugins that add schema data to posts and pages. I’ve not used them extensively, but I would expect all the required fields are provided for in some manner.
