 * Hello,
   I am getting a notice that my author archive page is missing the “mainEntity”
   field. Do you have any guidance on how to fix that? Or, is it, perhaps a known
   bug?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-field-mainentity-22%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@socialamyw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/socialamyw/),
 * Thanks for reaching out. I confirmed the error occurs on that one profile but
   the others are fine. Do all the authors have the same user role on the site? 
   Do you have a plugin that creates users like a guest author plugin?

 * I completed that information in the user profile. Is there somewhere else I should
   put it?

 * Hmmm – I think I may have resolved the issue. Are you able to see that from your
   end? I just submitted the fix for validation in Google Search Console.
   So, you
   know, I was using PublishPress Authors. I disabled that plugin and added the 
   author box using another method instead.
