Edwin Jonk: That is part of the structured markup, which you can test at https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
To fix it you need to look at the theme. By default, wordpress uses microformats.
Sanjay Upadhyay: yes i checked . But its see everything is perfect ;
Sanjay Upadhyay: ya sure +Edwin Jonk ; ;http://charlotteweddingplanner.biz
Edwin Jonk: +Sanjay Upadhyay ;I am lost. I cannot find anything. Within GWT it is under the "structured data" tab, right? If you click on the error it will tell you which URL has the error. Can you share one URL listed on GWT marked as an error?

Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: WordPress often causes errors related to hatom markup missing author and updated. Templates often contain a class called hentry but not its property classes, which causes the problem. I would not worry about it. ;

Thanks once again
Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: It's often there by default. One day I'll look into why. It's probaby related to marking up the author of a page. And the theme hasn't implemented or enabled it.
Sanjay Upadhyay: Ahhh +Tony McCreath yes waiting to listen your experience regarding this
Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: Ok, hatom and related markup are related to atom based rss feed stuff. I believe it is a way to help feed readers scrape information from the pages. Not sure what use is that because they should be using the rss feed for that info anyhow!
I'm testing out this solution that should add the correct info needed to complete the markup:
