 * Hi,
 * I’m using the Sugar and Spice theme and I’m having these errors in Google webmaster
   tools:
 * Error: Missing required field “updated”.
    Error: Missing required hCard “author”.
 * I’ve installed 2 more wordpress websites before these one but with different 
   themes and it didn’t give me any error, that’s why I assume it was the theme’s
   problem.
 * “itemtype: [http://microformats.org/profile/hatom&#8221](http://microformats.org/profile/hatom&#8221);–
   if this helps anyone.
 * Can anyone help me?
 * Thank you

 * Hi ppprst1,
 * I found this thread:
 * [http://wordpressapi.com/wordpress-gravatar-webmaster-tool-error-fixed/](http://wordpressapi.com/wordpress-gravatar-webmaster-tool-error-fixed/)
 * that discusses this error, and I was able to identify the following file in the“
   Sugar and Spice” theme that the “comments.php” looks up for “author vcard” information:
 * [http://yourdomainname/wp-content/themes/sugar-and-spice/inc/template-tags.php](http://yourdomainname/wp-content/themes/sugar-and-spice/inc/template-tags.php)
 * I simply removed the two references to the word vcard as follows –
 * here: `<div class="comment-author vcard">`
 * I changed it to: `<div class="comment-author">`
 * and
 * here: `$author_string = '<span class="byline"> %1$s <span class="author vcard"
   ><a href="%2$s" title="%3$s" rel="author" class="fn">%4$s</a></span></span>';`
 * I changed to:
 * `$author_string = '<span class="byline"> %1$s <span class="author"><a href="%
   2$s" title="%3$s" rel="author" class="fn">%4$s</a></span></span>';`
 * My website can be found here: [http://henrygomez.com.au](http://henrygomez.com.au)
 * and a page where I have comments can be found here:
 * [http://henrygomez.com.au/2015/02/puti-and-johnny-at-the-boulevard-gardens/](http://henrygomez.com.au/2015/02/puti-and-johnny-at-the-boulevard-gardens/)
 * Check the comments at the bottom of the page. They still appear without any errors.
 * Let’s wait and see if the next google bot pass reads this in and clears the error!
 * Cheers,
    Henry
