How to fix the author Missing field “url” error | New Updated article Schema markup
In your Google Search Console you might see an error that missing: author. This error can be found in Google Webmaster Tools -> Search Appearance -> Structured Data- > hentry (markup: microformats.org). However for confirmation you can test your Blog by Google structure data testing tool. After testing your Blogger template on Google structure data testing tools if you see this is displaying an error then you must fix this error as soon as possible.
Google recommends adding an author’s URL to article schema to help with disambiguating the correct author when multiple writers have the same or similar names.
This is confirmed in an official Google changelog, which reads:
“August 6: Added a new recommended author.url property to the Article structured data documentation. The url property helps Google disambiguate the correct author of the article.”
To be clear, the author URL property is not new. What’s new is the recommendation to use it to help Google disambiguate the correct author of an article.
