Thank you. I’m happy you are going to fix this in two weeks. Looking forward to it.

Thank you. How do I send you a screen shot? I know how to send a screen shot via email. I don’t know how to paste a screenshot in this forum.

If you go to the google structure data testing tool at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets . Use a url page (different than post) from my website such as http://preciouskittens.com/teacup-persian-kittens/ , you will get the following errors:

Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.
Error: Missing required field “updated”.
Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

If you enter a post (different than a page) into the testing tool such as http://preciouskittens.com/2014/10/how-to-give-your-persian-cat-a-bath/ , you will get the following errors:

Error: Missing required field “updated”.
Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

These errors will occur on all websites using your theme – not just my website. It will affect google rankings on each page and post. It will show up as errors when submitting your site to google webmaster tools. I have done a lot of research on this problem which occurred from a google algorithm update. It needs to be fixed within the theme. Here are a few articles I’ve read about this problem. Many wordpress themes have been updated to correct these errors:

Also if you paste these errors in a google search, you will get results with further information.

Where do I find the theme folder?
How do I create a file?

Sorry, but I need extremely specific instructions. I am not an expert at this, only a novice. I had no idea that the theme I purchased from you would produce google errors on all pages and posts thus affecting my rankings. Do you plan on making an update to fix this problem? I don’t mind waiting for that instead of trying to fix it myself. Please let me know if you plan of correcting this problem with an update.

I would also like to add that I liken this to a scenario where I purchase an alarm clock from you. The alarm clock is beautiful and tells perfect time. But the alarm doesn’t work which makes me late for work each day. I then go back to you and tell you that the alarm isn’t working only to get your following response: “This is how we made the alarm clock. If you want the alarm to work you will need to fix it yourself or hire someone to do it for you”.

What’s the point of an alarm clock with an non-functioning alarm. Just like what’s the point of a website theme that creates pages and posts with google errors. When pages have errors it affects site rankings. You made a beautiful theme. Why not fix this very serious problem with an update?

Once again, please let me know if you plan on fixing this problem in your next update. I would rather wait for that than try to fix this myself. I’m certain that I would make a mess of things. And I’m certainly not going to spend more money by hiring someone.

Thank you for answering my questions especially the one where I’m asking about an update. Your response will greatly affect my next step with regard to this matter.

Hi. Still waiting for instructions on how to fix this error. I need to know how to create a child them, unhook the function, and customize the code. Thank you.

[preciouskittens]

I can’t believe I paid money and spent all this time setting up the website only to learn that it doesn’t work with google. Not happy. I may not know how to create a child theme, unhook a function, or change codes. But I do know how to put complaints up about this theme. This is crazy. Why make a website theme that creates errors with google? This is something you should be very upfront about when you sell the theme. It should say in big letters – DOES NOT WORK WITH GOOGLE. YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE CODE, CREATE A CHILD THEME, AND UNHOOK FUNCTION. I would never of bought it because I don’t know how to do any of this. 🙁

How do I get to the folders?
How do I create a child theme?

[preciouskittens]

You designed the theme to not work with google? Who would make a theme like that? Could you please explain a little better. I’m not experienced at code writing. That’s why I bought the theme from you. I assumed you wouldn’t sell a product that is not compatible with google. Please explain in detail exactly what I need to do. I paid for this theme and support.

[preciouskittens]

I would also like to add that I’m certain you did not release a new premium theme where people are paying for a theme without making your code compatible for google data structure. I can’t imagine you doing that. So I’m certain that I’m doing something wrong.

[preciouskittens]

None of this worked. I had to uninstall everything and start over. The first time, just to see what it looked like, I selected a category from the homepage blog category area. That’s when everything I posted, even pages, all started showing up on the home page. I did everything I was suppose to do to remove this but it didn’t work. So I removed the site and started fresh. This time, I am leaving the blog category section alone! It seems like once you select anything, it will not let you change it. I noticed other people having the same problem. Maybe they will read this. But thanks for replying anyway.

[preciouskittens]

Maybe I should keep my question more simple: How to make it so that I don’t have any posts showing up on my home “business template” page?
