 * Hi,
 * My website is [http://www.femalesolotravel.com](http://www.femalesolotravel.com)
 * I have the Pinnacle Free theme by Kendance. I also have installed SEO by Yoast
   and Jetpack.
 * Webmaster is displaying the following errors under Structured Data > Items with
   Errors > Error Type > Missing:Author.
 * When I click on Missing:Author and click on Test Live Data, it shows the following:
   –
   blog posting: all good – hentry: all good – profile page: all good – unspecified
   type: Warning!
 * When I click on Warning, the following message is displayed: Node is empty. Double
   check that this is desired and consider removing.
 * I have seen forums where apparently the solution would be modifying the single.
   php code in the part regarding the author, however in Pinnacle, when I open the
   Single.php file, there is no such part, so I don’t know where to find it, nor
   if this would actually be the right solution.
 * For the rest, I am the administrator and I write most of the articles (but not
   all). I don’t have an Author profile, but just an Administrator profile (I don’t
   know if this might be the issue).
 * So far I had the following options enabled/disabled:
    – Users > WordPress SEO
   settings (by Yoast) > Admin > Exclude user from Author-sitemap is: DISABLED –
   SEO > XML Sitemaps > “author/user sitemap” is: ENABLED, I have “DISABLED all 
   users with zero posts” , and have excluded only the following user roles: Contributor,
   Subscriber. – Appearance > Theme options > Blog Options > “Show author name with
   posts?” is: ON
 * I would like to permanently fix this issue so that is not showing up anymore,
   also for new posts.
 * Thanks,
    Flavia

 * I’m not seeing any error with your posts when I use the [https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/](https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/)
 * The warning can be ignored. It’s not an error it’s just letting you know that
   there isn’t anything else being picked up in the schema. You can add a function
   to remove that but again it’s just a warning not an error.
 * The author is showing fine. On posts. Is there a certain page it’s not showing
   on that is giving you can error?
