Thank you. How do I send you a screen shot? I know how to send a screen shot via email. I don’t know how to paste a screenshot in this forum.

If you go to the google structure data testing tool at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets . Use a url page (different than post) from my website such as http://preciouskittens.com/teacup-persian-kittens/ , you will get the following errors:

Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.
Error: Missing required field “updated”.
Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

If you enter a post (different than a page) into the testing tool such as http://preciouskittens.com/2014/10/how-to-give-your-persian-cat-a-bath/ , you will get the following errors:

Error: Missing required field “updated”.
Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

These errors will occur on all websites using your theme – not just my website. It will affect google rankings on each page and post. It will show up as errors when submitting your site to google webmaster tools. I have done a lot of research on this problem which occurred from a google algorithm update. It needs to be fixed within the theme. Here are a few articles I’ve read about this problem. Many wordpress themes have been updated to correct these errors:

Also if you paste these errors in a google search, you will get results with further information.
