    Hi! 

    First of all many thanks for your help, your amazing support and incredible theme!

    I just wanted to ask where the author details are contained in Kalium Theme?

    Basically I've got the following error coming up in my Google Search Console, under "Structured Data > hentry" :

    "Missing: author" and that comes up for pretty much every page and blog post I have. So I've googled it and found the solution to be in the single.php file, where they said the <h1> or <h2> entry for the author has to be replaced with a certain line of code they provided. I wanted to do that but I can't find those entries in any single.php file I have for Kalium Theme in my files directory.

    So maybe you can just tell me where to find the author details in the Theme Files, so I can correct that?

    Many thanks for your help!

    Cheers

    Isabel

    Hi Isabel,

    Is your blog post author description missing or the HTML page author?

    Hi Art 

    Thanks for such a quick reply! I'm not sure which of the two you mention is missing... I'm looking for this element : <?php the_author(); ?> so I can replace it with <span class="vcard author post-author"><span class="fn"><?php the_author(); ?></span></span>

    Which the article said should fix it. It should be located in the single.php file of my wp-content, but I have looked through pretty much all the files that ended with single-"something".php, without success...

    Any idea where I could find it? 

    Thanks a thousand for your support! 

    Cheers

    Hi again Isabel,

    Each theme has it's own specifics and they are not all the same, adding codes you find in any  tutorial to Kalium or any other theme can be buggy and break your site so we do not recommend adding extra code unless you are a professional on it.

    As I can see you want to add the author info, like in this image:

    and to show it go to Laborator > Theme Options > Blog Settings > Single Page and make sure you have the Author info enabled, the one highlighted in this screenshot:

    If you need to change the author biography, then you will have to follow this guide and edit the user which is the user of that post by adding extra biography.

    Best regards,
    Laborator Team

    Thanks for the info, Art! It makes sense to not fiddle with the code too much. I've followed your steps and I'll make sure to ask a professional in case the error persists...

    Have a good day! 

    Kind regards
