      Hi,

      Without looking at the site, it can be a bit difficult to see if you have things set-up correctly.

      You mention WordPress. Have you considered using an Authorship Plugin? I know there are many out there and I assume most work just fine.

      I believe you can even set-up single person authorship through Yoast's SEO plug-in.

        Hi,

        Sounds correct, but the best way to make absolutely sure of markup is the rich snippet testing tool as it gives you debuggin hints or tells you if correct.

        http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

        5. No this should not prevent Authorship - Just make sure you have submitted the author

        https://plus.google.com/authorship

            Hello,

            Take a link of the article/page which got the link in bottom as you mentioned,

            paste the link here : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets in this page, and test it. if it verifies then its fine. if not it will show you where the problem is.

            Hope that helps

              Hi Shane,

              Thanks for that!

              Any idea why my homepage is coming up under authorship?

              Also I have included my Google + link at the end of my guest posts, why aren't they included under authorship?

              Sample Link:

              http://www.disabledgo.com/blog/2013/01/taxi/

              Your help would be much appreciated!

                Another indicator for authorship is the use of the verified email address used on profile

                If this is used, and all other authorship indicators are set up, this can show authorship

                hope this helps

                  and it is not a correct rel=author link

                  [Example]([profile_url]?rel=author)
