 Greetings.

 Getting this on Google's Structured Data Testing tool.

 Extracted structured data
 hatom-feed
 hatom-entry:
 Error: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.
 Error: Missing required field "entry-title".
 Error: Missing required field "updated".
 Error: Missing required hCard "author".

 The 1st two are caused by using WordPress with a static home page, this
 started with the 3.8 release. I am using a theme designed in Artisteer
 that worked fine before the 3.8 release. Artisteer is no help pointing the
 finger at WordPress. Activating WP 2014 theme solves the 1st 2 errors but
 the below still shows.

 Error: Missing required field "updated".
 Error: Missing required hCard "author".

 The second two have been present showing as "Warnings" in self hosted
 WordPress sites for a long time. However since a recent Google algorithm
 chance those warnings are now Errors. An announcement from Google.

 Below is a screen shot of one of my sites Google webmaster tools accounts.

 All of my sites structured data thumbnails have disappeared from search
 results. I have posted about this situation in the WordPress forums with
 no help so far.
