    " appears in google webmaster tool. Website design and developed in wordpress open source.
  • 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.

  • 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?

    Ping +Tony McCreath ;I need your help! ;
  • 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. ;
  • Edwin Jonk: +Tony McCreath ;The URL's I checked didn't had the hatom or vcard markup. That is why I asked an URL that GWT reports as an error...
  • Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: +Edwin Jonk ;Your right. Maybe a theme change? +Sanjay Upadhyay ;does the error mention hatom or hentry and have you been playing with the template/theme in the last few weeks?

    How to solve this problem? Can you lead me ;
  • Tony “Tiggerito” McCreath: Remove the class hentry from those pages.
  • Sanjay Upadhyay: Ok thanks a lot +Tony McCreath ; for your valuable support. ;

    And onething i want to share is that",i do not play with theme before many days. So i think by default it created ;

    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:
