Structured Data hatom-entry

Pasting my replies on this from previous posts:

Customizr by default adds the author info and the updated info to blog posts (specifically the updated and author classes appear in the “entry-meta” information for each post). This makes sense: you probably want Google to know who wrote the article and when it was updated.

The links you are pointing to are pages, not posts. As such, it’s of lesser importance—and possibly of no importance at all—that Google knows the author and the date of the page. Indeed, many companies would specifically not want authorship information on their static pages.

I just tested Twenty Fourteen—the default theme provided by WordPress—and Twenty Twelve— the most popular WordPress theme— and note that:
– The updated class doesn’t appear on posts, nor on pages (whereas in Customizr it appears on posts).
– The author class only appears on posts (as it does in Customizr).

So in this respect, Customizr is better than two of the most popular themes of all time—for WordPress, which is one of the most popular content management systems of all time.

So in summary, I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.

We can now say definitively that it won’t affect your Google page rank, because Google has now officially dropped authorship from its ranking.
