Implemented - Markup improvements for Google

Hi, my name is Ryan Levering and I currently handle structured data ingestion at Google (this guy). I've been doing some fairly spontaneous spot checks (not based on any specific problem) of some of the major forum software markups on the web just to see whether the markup is being generated in...

I've made a temp fix implementing

            <div itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">
            <meta itemprop="name" content="{{ $post.User.username ?: $post.username }}" />
            </div>

<meta itemprop="url" content="{{ link('canonical:members', $user) }}" />

after

<meta itemprop="url" content="{{ link('canonical:posts', $post, {'post_id': $post.post_id}) }}" />

add to this code here

<meta itemprop="url" content="{{ link('canonical:posts', $post, {'post_id': $post.post_id}) }}" />

Nice! The author is blank in the json schema due to the member being deleted. This should get the username added even if the user no longer has an account? I don't know how that is addressed in the backend.

Will there be an interim release to overcome these bugs?

Thank you for your guidance. I have followed these two issues, I hope they will be resolved as soon as possible. Thousands of our pages started to appear in google records with errors

There are two of these in mesage_macros

meta itemprop="url" content="{{ link('canonical:members', $user) }

and post_macros

{{ $includeMicrodata ? 'itemprop="' . $itemProp . '" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="' . ($user ? link('canonical:members', $user) : '') . '"' : '' }}>

Should we change/add the code after both of them or just one of them?

I'd do it just the once I think. Only 1 is missing in Googles eyes. It just needs one. Is my thinking.
