How To Fix A Value For The Publisher Field Is Required

It is very easy to overcome this structured data markup problem.

 This is what you need to do:

1. Log into your Blogger account.

2. Click on "Theme".

3. Click on "Edit HTML"button.

4. Look for this code:

<data:post.body/>

Note: Before you paste the block of code below onto your template, make sure you change the two lines (https://your-blog.blogspot.com) highlighted in white.

They must be replaced with your actual Blogger URL.

<div itemprop='publisher' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Organization'>
    <div itemprop='logo' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ImageObject'>
      <img style='display:none;' src='https://your-blog.blogspot.com'/>
      <meta itemprop='url' content='https://your-blog.blogspot.com'/>
      <meta itemprop='width' content='600'/>
      <meta itemprop='height' content='60'/>
    </div>
    <meta itemprop='name' expr:content='data:blog.title'/>
</div>

5. Now you paste this block of code BELOW <data:post.body/>.

6. Now it should look like this:

<div itemprop='publisher' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/Organization'>
    <div itemprop='logo' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ImageObject'>
      <img style='display:none;' src='https://your-blog.blogspot.com'/>
      <meta itemprop='url' content='https://your-blog.blogspot.com'/>
      <meta itemprop='width' content='600'/>
      <meta itemprop='height' content='60'/>
    </div>
    <meta itemprop='name' expr:content='data:blog.title'/>
</div>
<data:post.body/>

Note: The <data:post.body/> tag could appear TWICE in your template. You must paste the above code under both of them.

7. Then click on the orange color "Save theme" button.

8. That's all.

After that, go back to Google Structured Data Testing Tool and click on "NEW TEST" button.

The error in red "a value for the publisher field is required" shouldn't be there anymore.
