 * This is on product pages right? It doesn’t really make sense to include that 
   data on product pages. Who needs to know the creator of the product page?

 * It’s on my pages.
    I do have these lines in my storefront-child theme functions.
   php.
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'start_post_rel_link' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'index_rel_link' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head' );
       ```

 * I had the same problem that my wordpress pages didn’t have the hatom author and
   updated. I found the following that I put in my custom functions (Plugin) that
   worked.
 *     ```
       //mod content fix Google hAtom Missing author Missing updated
       //mod content
       function hatom_mod_post_content ($content) {
         if ( in_the_loop() && !is_page() ) {
           $content = '<span class="entry-content">'.$content.'</span>';
         }
         return $content;
       }
       add_filter( 'the_content', 'hatom_mod_post_content');
   
       //add hatom data
       function add_mod_hatom_data($content) {
           $t = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
           $author = get_the_author();
           $title = get_the_title();
           if ( is_single() || is_page()) {
               $content .= '<div class="hatom-extra"><span class="entry-title">'.$title.'</span> was last modified: <span class="updated"> '.$t.'</span> by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">'.$author.'</span></span></div>';
           }
           return $content;
           }
       add_filter('the_content', 'add_mod_hatom_data');
       ```

 * Does this affect SEO? Is it necessary to fix it? I don’t think the author is 
   necessary.

 * If you change this line in your snippet;
 * `if ( is_single() || is_page()) {`
 * to this;
 * `if ( is_single() || is_page() || is_product() ) {`
 * The content will be included on product pages as well.
 * Personally I don’t think it’s necessary, but I am not an SEO expert.
