# Structured Data Errors — theme Twenty Twelve

 * 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.

 * 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.

 * Yes, it is actually pretty simple. I provide a solution here: [http://gehrcke.de/2015/02/structured-data-for-google-how-to-add-the-updated-hentry-field/](http://gehrcke.de/2015/02/structured-data-for-google-how-to-add-the-updated-hentry-field/)
 * TL;DR:
    you basically want to get the modification time of an article in ISO 
   notation via `$datemodifiedISO = get_the_modified_time("c");` and include this
   in the HTML in a time tag containing the `updated` CSS class, like so:
 * `echo '<time class="updated" datetime="'.$datemodifiedISO.'" pubdate>'.$datecreated.'
   </time>`
 * Make sure that `$datecreated` is defined, too, of course :). For a more complete
   example and explanation, see the linked article.
