If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed" error in google authorship

In google authorship this is the recent time error where all the bloggers are struggling to come over. This error is because of the google is trying to show the authorship details but it cannot find the particular author's data.

"If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed error in google authorship-5
So here is the solution for If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed: organization, location, or role. 

Its actually saying that if this website has a markup of a person, either may be he is a author or a admin, you have to provide his/her organization or company, location or role or designation to the company or blog.

As the question requires data the solution is to provide the data which has asked for but through some code.

Follow the step below:

Step 1: Go blogger dashboard --> Template --> Edit Template.

Step 2: Find the line post-author vcard.

If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed" error in google authorship-2
Step 3: Just the below the post-author vcard code there will be <span>...</span> tags.

If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed" error in google authorship-3
Just after the end of the span tag i.e., just after the </span> tag paste the following code

<span class="org">Company/Organisation Name</span>
<span class="role">Your role</span>

If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed" error in google authorship-4
Step 4: Search for the post-author vcard again and follow the same steps if you find any other.

Step 5: Now replace Company/Organisation Name and Your role with desired replacements..
