Reviews ratings still not working with Google

Hi folks; I know this came up with v1.3, and was hoping for fix with 1.4.

With a review such as here:
http://ga-ga.com/2436/ga-ga-for-movies-hey-mr-terrorist-i-liked-the-interview/

the ratings still don’t appear in Google when doing search for the review – or ANY review on the site; the ratings don’t appear in SERPS, in other words.

I am seeing some errors in schema data from above page.

With the Newspaper theme we didn’t have this issue, as if you put in a story to search for, such as “Book Review: How and Why the US is Economically ‘Divided’” in Google, you can see the SERPS show the ratings properly on our other website.

Hi, Chris

I have inspected your case and seems there is another bug. Not work for your case because you use ” in review description. To fix that add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/zB2ClvxC8JF

We will fix this in the next update.
Many thanks again and sorry for all the issues.

Thanks, Marius
will give it a try.

I did try the usual debug tricks like removing any review bullets from sidebar, etc. and still had the problem, hence the “cry for help!” 😉

Yeeehhhhaaaahhhh! (as we say out here in the Wild West …)

Just tested with Google “Structured Data Testing Tool” and the preview does show the correct rating, et al.

I think that fixed it.

So, good to add to next version of theme ! 🙂

Thanks again.
