thatbranding Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi all - Google Search console reached out by email to kindly tell me that one of my sites is affected by 39 instances of "Event markup issues". Opening the Events report in webmaster tools, I am confronted with this: If I look at an individual url within Google's structured data testing tool, I see this, telling me location and start date are missing (odd immediate spike in data from mid August...?): Now, I don't know code, but I am surprised to see lots of other posts talking about schema.org and the need to add code for things like this (similar problems occur for blog posts apparently). Given that my events have locations in the "Locations" tab within each event, what exactly am I supposed to do to get the data correctly listed with Google? Surely I shouldn't have to learn some code and add it somewhere? That's a bit 2013... I could be adding locations incorrectly of course, and if there is a special way to add locations I would be grateful if anyone could share how to add them "correctly", else is there anything else I can do to get things correctly listed? Same for start date... What am I missing and how to do I sort it out? Thanks all Link to comment
12thkey Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Same problem, very interested in a fix. Link to comment
MrFix3 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I also am seeing this issue, tried adding Google Calendar links to the Events page via the Styles and that doesn't make any difference. Link to comment
angkorgolf Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have the same issue, even i try to overwrite the structure data....anyone has solution? Link to comment
geearias Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hey @paulscurrah @12thkey @mrfix3 @angkorgolf , This article really helps! https://www.marksmen.studio/blog/fix-issues-squarespace-schema-markup Link to comment
mcmichael_realty Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I have the same issue. I have read the marksmen.studio blog about a solution, but these solutions are manual and require ongoing evaluation and work. I've gone through the data highlighter steps myself but Google still reports the pages with errors. It would be nice if SquareSpace could just update their code to provide the startDate and location.

thatbranding Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Agreed - it’s very simple, obvious and repeated data (surely?) so why SS hasn’t catered for it I don’t know. Link to comment
jess123456 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I've got 2 article schema errors with this web page: https://charlottewiseman.com/workplace-wellness-blog/what-is-mindfulness Thanks! Link to comment
MTM_emi Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm having a similar issue: six warnings in google search console on my squarespace site. i'm going to go into each warning, identify the content issue, and attempt to address within squarespace, and i'll report back with my results.

MTM_emi Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 update: wasn't able to address the specific warnings on my site. found this update on the google search console forums claiming it wasn't a big deal & wouldn't impact search performance. i'd still hope it's an update squarespace has in the works! update 2: found a blog post explaining how to add custom code to address these warnings (won't work for me, as i'm on a cheap plan, but may work for you!)
