# Google Structured Data Error – Item Field

 * Hi Kevin,
    I’m getting the following error from Google Structured Data Testing
   Tool which is coming from a testimonial on my page: Error: The name of reviewed
   item is not supplied by “item” field.
 * This is directly related to Testimonial Basics because when I submit the Testimonials
   page it gives me the same error on each of my reviews. I suspect that an “Item”
   field needs to be added to TB.
 * Here is the site:
    [http://sunkissvacationhomes.com](http://sunkissvacationhomes.com)
 * Here is the full testimonials page:
    [http://sunkissvacationhomes.com/guest-reviews/](http://sunkissvacationhomes.com/guest-reviews/)
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You need to name the testimonials. You can either use the Group Name or you can
   apply a Custom Name which would apply to all testimonials. See the user documentation.

 * Hi Kevin,
    Each of the testimonials has a group name. I have read the documentation
   in the Options and Testimonials section, the expanded Help tab of the plugin 
   as well as on your site. As far as I can tell I have set everything up the way
   it’s supposed to be. If group acts as Google’s “Item” then it isn’t working because
   as I said each of the testimonials have been assigned to a group. Either that
   or something is missing in the documentation or I didn’t understand something.

 * Hey Kevin,
    Could the problem be because there are multiple groups and Google
   doesn’t know how to handle that? My understanding is that Google’s “Item” is 
   for a product review so my question is if you have multiple products (in my case
   various vacation homes) and each one has their own name or group then is that
   causing the error with Google’s Item structured data? If that’s the case I would
   suspect I could rename them all to a single group and it should work. Well I 
   changed them all to a single group “SunKiss Villas” but still had the same problem.
   In Google’s tool “Item” is blank which tells me that the group isn’t being seen
   by Google as “Item”. Hope that helps. Mark

 * I am travelling today and will take a look at your site in the next Day or so.
 * The pluging has been extensively tested with the structured data tool and it 
   works fine.
 * Google structured data only likes one item type on a page.
 * If you are using structured data each testimonial should have a name displayed
   at the top.

 * I took a closer look at the testimonials page on your site and I noticed that
   much of the content is wrapped in code tags. This usually happens when the testimonial
   page is set up in visual mode instead of text mode and it can lead to unpredictable
   results. This is covered in the documentation.
 * Re-do the page in text mode and see what happens.

 * Hi Kevin,
    I just re-did the page in text mode and removed the ` tags. I also
   re-named the testimonials to a single group and re-ran the test on Google - same
   result. All testimonials have a "missing" item field error. Also, since I only
   have one testimonial on the home page with use of the widget I wouldn't think
   that I should have a problem with the home page but I also have the same problem
   despite the fact that all testimonials now have the same group name. Mark

 * If the title is not displayed next to the rating then something is incorrect 
   in the setup.
 * What is the settings for the following :
    Group Individual Review Name? Custom
   Individual Review Name?
 * Have you changed any code in testimonial basics?
    Are you using the latest version
   of testimonial basics?

 * My Bad…. I apologize. I missed setting those fields. Everything working fine 
   now. Sorry for taking your time on something so obvious it should have bit me.
   Great plugin by the way and great support!!
    Thanks again, Mark
