Google's Structured Data Testing Tool at https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ returns errors for all my EasyBlog pages. Apparently datePublished and image is missing and required. See attached screenshots for frontpage and blog post details page test results. Google notified me of the problem via Search Console/Webmaster Tools with this message:
"Google has detected that the structured markup on some of your pages may be using techniques that are outside our rich snippet guidelines. As a result, Google has disabled rich snippets for http://www.stonedisegno.com/. "

I couldn't find any information about EasyBlog 5 implementation of rich snippets, or where the required details should be entered when adding a post. Perhaps it is possible to add the missing data when composing a blog post? I can't find it.

Website details:
http://www.stonedisegno.com/blog
Joomla 3.4.4
EasyBlog 5.0.26

Thank you,
Richard
Hello Richard,

I've added the missing element and now the tool returns no error. http://screencast.com/t/1LWFaiGf I will push this to our repo.

Thank you! The EasyBlog frontpage errors are fixed now, but there's still one error on the blog post details page at http://www.stonedisegno.com/blog/entry/visit-my-studio Google's Structured Data Testing Tool is showing Image is missing and required. See screenshot attached.

Thank you! Everything validates now on Google's Structured Data Testing Tool. Will the post details fix you applied also be pushed to your repo for inclusion on the next version of EasyBlog? Or will I have to manually apply your fixes again after an update? I guess the important thing is the problem unique to my website, or a bug in current version of EasyBlog?

I appreciate your help!
Richard
