I have noticed in Google webmaster tools, that there are many html markup errors for easyblog rich snippets (structured data).
I have also just upgraded from 3.9.15210 to 3.9.15278 today, if that helps at all.

Please see my url details attached and let me know what the problem could be.
Hello Brian,

Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

before I do, I noticed that I get the same errors on your demo. So perhaps it is worth looking at that first?

Maybe there should not be markup on the blog posts when they are shown in a category. IE only show the blog post markup when the post is viewed by itself?

Hello Brian,

Ah, okay thanks! Here's what you can do, download the ratings.php file and copy it into /components/com_easyblog/helpers/ and replace it with ratings.php . Then, download the ratings.form.php and upload it into /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/

Is this going to be a permanent change in future versions? or do I have to replace files every time I upgrade easyblog?
