# Google Webmaster Errors — Theme Twenty Twelve

 * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-webmaster-errors-theme-twenty-twelve/)
 * **Part 1** (part 2 below)
 * I’m using the theme Twenty Twelve and I have searched high and low across the
   Internet for the solution to my problem. I’m getting this error in google webmaster
   tools:
 * Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.
 * My site is a site with hundreds of static PAGES, not posts. I do have a blog 
   that goes along with the site, but I don’t even have those posts indexed. I only
   care about the pages.
 * I have implemented the “entry-date updated” fix I’ve seen all over the place 
   in the functions.php file (line 375; latest version of Twenty Tweleve; version
   1.4). I still am getting the errors for all my static pages.
 * I have the message that authorship is working for the page.
 * However, in the “extracted structured data” section, I get the above-mentioned
   errors for all my site’s pages.
 * As I said, I have authorship working. My google+ account is successfully linked
   with my site.
 * So, is there any obvious, simple fix to this problem that I’m missing?
 * Any help would be appreciated. I know there are multiple posts about this on 
   the Internet and on these forums, but I can’t find the fix for my specific problem.
 * My site: [http://truthsaves.org/](http://truthsaves.org/)
 * **Part 2 (a few days later)**
    I’m still working on the problem. Any assistance
   would be greatly appreciated. I’ve solved half of it.
 * I found this line in the content-page.php file:
 * <h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
 * and I changed it to this:
 * <h1 class=”entry-title updated”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
 * I just added the word updated.
 * Now the updated error that I posted in my original post is gone. Remember this
   is for the theme “twenty twelve” pages, not posts.
 * I still have the following error and not even sure it can be fixed! I’m sure 
   it can. But maybe twenty twelve doesn’t have any support for author markup in
   pages. I don’t know.
 * Error: Missing required hCard “author”.
 * Any help? Would love it if someone could help.

 * ok, ok its 3 weeks ago, but :
    To implement the “author” snippet on WP **pages**
   for twenty twelve do the following :
 * In the content-page.php :
 * add this :
 *     ```
       <span class="vcard author"><span class="fn" style="display: none;">your author name</span></span>
       ```
   
 * here :
 *     ```
       <h1 class="entry-title updated"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <span class="vcard author"><span class="fn" style="display: none;">your author name</span></span>
       </header>
       ```
