# Missing author error by Google

 * Hello, since I changed my old theme for Hitmag I can’t solve the “Missing: Author”
   hentry error inside Google Search Console. With my old theme I was using some
   lines of code inside function.php to fix all hentry errors (missing title,updated,
   author), but when I used the same code inside Hitmag’s function page, the author’s
   part doesn’t work. I took a look inside all the files looking for “the_author()”
   call to manually fix it, but I couldn’t find it. Please, can someone help me 
   finding a working solution to this problem? Thanks
