    I'm currently using the Metro theme and when I tried to verify my site using the rich snippet tester I got the following error message:

    Warning: Missing required field "updated"

    After doing a bit of digging around I discovered what Google is looking for is a class named "updated" wrapped around the post date. The easiest way to solve this problem is with the Genesis Simple Edits plugin like this:

    [post_date format="F j, Y" label="Dated"] By [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]

    Hoping this helps.

    I have Genesis Simple Edits installed. I'd like my post info to look like this:
    February 15, 2013 by Tech Geek (updated: February 26, 2013)
    I want "Tech GeeK" to link to my Google+ account, followed by rel=author attribute.

    How do I accomplish this with the plugin?

     

    Thank you!

    Where do you find [post_date format="F j, Y" label="Dated"] By [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit] ?
