WPFooter and Google Structured Data Testing Tool

Hi,
Your themes is great I have all Add-Ons, awesome :)
just a little issue when i test for my schema.org microdata on https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
I get a problem with the WPFooter, I solved it putting an id="something" inside:
<footer ...>
is the right way? can be solved in the future release?
Thanks for the heads up.
This won't make any difference when it comes to SEO, but I'll look into fixing it anyways just to clean up the warning :)
Looking into this - by default, GeneratePress adds to the necessary elements into the footer.
When using the Copyright add-on to replace the copyright content, these elements are removed in favor of your custom elements.
For example, in the default copyright message, we have this line:
<a itemprop="url" title="GeneratePress" target="_blank" href="http://generatepress.com">GeneratePress</a>
The itemprop="url" part makes it valid microdata.
That being said - this warning won't affect your SEO results at all, it's just a suggestion by Google :)
I noticed the same warning in the webmaster tool. So I found a workaround.
I will remove it since it is not an issue.
Probably other people will try to solve it, it could be better to clean it.
