    Hello , we are having a few issues with the Magazine theme and Googles Rich Snippet error messages.

    We use Yoast Plugin for SEO and use WP social for our review stars.

    Mainpage :

    http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radleycollector.com%2F&html=

    post page example :

    http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radleycollector.com%2Fradley-malton%2F&html=

    I have spent days researching how to fix this within my theme and cant find a solution that works for genesis child theme.

    Any help would be appreciated .

    I have added my Google profile url to the users field http://www.copyblogger.com/wordpress-google-authorship/

    Added code to my child themes functions.php for the updated date https://gist.github.com/gregrickaby/2838395

    Thank you for that, I will try and go through the stages see if that works. The only thing I am worried about is I don't want to have to put my face on results in Google and My results are not showing in Google at the moment so I am trying to fix things but something is going wrong in the background and I may mess it up further.

    Thank you again

    braddalton, your solution worked for me to. I now have no errors while checking the snippets but the way u use will show the author name en dates on the posts. Is there a way to include these snippets in the code so google sees them but not show them on a post or page?

    Yes. You can remove them using CSS code however they remain in the source code so search engines still grab the data.

    Hey Brad, the link you provided: https://gist.github.com/gregrickaby/2838395

    This is so that you can add G+ profile URLS when there are multiple authors? By default, it's not available?

    No. Its for adding custom post info to single posts.

    Sorry, wrong URL. I meant this one: http://www.copyblogger.com/wordpress-google-authorship/

    It seems there is already a G+ field in each author's editing screen. Maybe that tutorial was for a prior version of Genesis?

    ok, going too fast. Mixed up both URL's. There is no coding for adding G+ authorship. It's built in!

    Correct. All you need to do is add your Google + profile and you're cooking with gas!

    We have now updated to gen 2.0 and magazine 2.1 (think they the right numbers, but i mean the latest ones)

    and to be honest getting a bit confused on what else I am meant to do , to one make it html 5 as it looks no different to me and 2. to get the schema working since the update.

    Do I still follow the links you posted above? or are there new instructions now everything is out of beta or is it needed at all?

    Sorry I am not a coder and trying my best to get yoast, genesis and the star ratings all working correctly....

    Thank you Brad.
    I will look into that right now.
    on the email I got it says :

    Schema.org Microdata is built in with the new gen update,

    do I need to do anything to change settings with this etc? I don't see anything relating to it on my word press admin panel.
