Hello, we apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing. The error message “field ‘author’ is not filled in (non-critical)” indicates that the author field in the Schema markup is not filled in. This can affect how your content is displayed in search results.
To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the author’s name is properly filled in the Schema markup for the content. If you’re using Rank Math, you can navigate to the relevant post/page and ensure that the author’s name is correctly added in the Schema settings.
If you’re using the Author Schema Entity, you can customize the author’s information by heading over to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Local SEO. From there, you can add or modify the organization info associated with the author.
After making the necessary changes, you can validate your Schema markup using Google’s Rich Results Testing Tool to ensure that the author field is properly filled in.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to ask.
