Works perfectly – saves ton of time
by MartinJH·12 years ago
I have never added google authorship before. So when I tried to add it to my website yesterday, I used over 4 hours trying to make things work.
I did what Google said. I did what youtubers said. I did what bloggers said. I just couldn’t make it work.
With this plugin it worked in 5 minutes (checked with googles own tool).
I want to mention one mistake I did. I copied the whole google + url like this:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/xxxxxxxxxx/posts
It does not work if you include the /posts. It should look like this instead:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/xxxxxxxxxx
That is my comment. Have a nice day, and thanks to the author of this plugin.
Uses rel=me and adds publicity
by Naoise Golden Santos·12 years ago
This plugin uses rel="me" instead of rel="author" which is better for Google+ profile (test in http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets).
It also add spammy text in the title attribute of the link.
Does what is says on the tin

It works, no setup, just install the plugin and enter your Google+ url.
