 * Hi – I’m getting Structured Data errors within the Testimonials (via Google Webmaster
   Tools):
    author: missing and required The review has no reviewed item specified.
 * How to fix these?
 * Thank you

 * Hey Jackie!
 * You’ll need to make sure you’re displaying the Testimonial Author, and then Google
   will pick up the Structured Data for that portion.
 * The itemReviewed is set by the 3rd Custom Field, which is labeled as such, however
   this isn’t *required* by Google – ie it will pass the structured data test but
   will just alert you that this part isn’t present.
 * I hope that helps!
 * All the best,
    Richard

 * Do you need to have the pro-version in order for the Author information show 
   up? I’m having the same issue described by jackie777 in Google Webmaster Tools.

 * I couldn’t rationalize spending $59 to make the author field available for the
   testimonials. So, I had to uninstall Easy Testimonials plugin and go with the
   [Random Text](https://wordpress.org/plugins/randomtext/) plugin to alleviate 
   this issue in Google Webmaster Tools.
 * You guys might want to allow for the author field to be available to the free
   version of your plugin, since Google Webmaster Tools doesn’t like the missing
   author.

 * Hey itanjillc –
 * I never noticed your first question, I suppose I don’t receive e-mail notifications
   on resolved threads.
 * No, you don’t need the Pro version to display the Author field.
 * Can you let me know what makes you think you need the Pro version to display 
   the Author field?
 * Best,
    RIchard
