Super Data 1.1.8 help , google search is now spitting out snippets warnings

[jasonshanks]

Hello,

First off I just wanted to say , i had this plugin installed for the longest ( since the author released the last version ) and could never figure out how to get it working. Since I am finally getting serious with my ZC , I got it done. Turns out I never renamed the template folder from the default ( your_templete) name DOh!

https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator seems to be showing my site correctly (www.missingcord.com) correctly. It would spit out errors about structured data cards missing before I fixed the plugin install.

That brings us to this morning. In my google search console I got 3 warnings and a notice that google has detected structured data.

How do i fix this ? I did everything the readme said to do this time. I do not see any of the fields in the super data menu for admin with those options. Please help me. I am really stoked about this plugin , just from adding it my ranking improved a little bit.

I see the instructions for https://pro-webs.net/blog/2012/09/25...-org-microdata but no idea how to add brand or review.

I am guessing this is the fix for the "name "

"Using the identifier for your product’s name.

In includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Locate your product name

<h1 id=”productName”><?php echo $products_name; ?></h1>

Now wrap it in the property name tag

<h1 id=”productName”><span itemprop=”name“><?php echo $products_name; ?></span></h1>"

And this is the one for brand

" Using the identifier for your product’s brand/manufacturer.

Locate the manufacturer’s function

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? ‘<li>’ . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . $manufacturers_name . ‘</li>’ : ”) . “\n”; ?>

now you will wrap it in either the brand or manufacturer property tag, whichever is most appropriate for your cart

<?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? ‘<li>’ . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . ‘<span itemprop=”brand”>’ . $manufacturers_name . ‘</span></li>’ : ”) . “\n”; ?>"

But "review" is confusing. I don't see steps for it anywhere.

Going to remove super data for now , google is starting to spew out missing warnings for the data missing above and I don't want to hurt my ranking. Will try it on a test site first.

I installed it and am not getting any structured data showing for my links using the twitter card validator and google structured data tester. Google now says
