    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The missing field “author” warning was happening on an older version of the plugin so please make sure that you have the latest version of Rank Math installed: https://rankmath.com/changelog/free/

    To fix the “Author” warning, you can set your default headline by heading on your WordPress dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Post types:

    To use the post/page’s current title for your headline, please use the %seo_title% variable in that section.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
