      Hi,

      I seem to be having a few problems with getting google authors set up on Wordpress. I've set up my G+ account, put the link to my blog http://appointedd.com/blog/ and then registered it on the yoast plugin.

      However, I'm not sure it's set up correctly and I can't seem to be able to get it to work.

      I'm hoping a fine someone here has experience in this as I'm a little flustered.

      thanks.

          Philip, you can test out you code with google's structed data testing tool.

            It looks like your rel="author" is set up to your /post on your Google+ and not your Main Google+ Page.

            On the plugin use this

            https://plus.google.com/104817850948530040093

            Instead of this:

            https://plus.google.com/u/0/104817850948530040093/posts

            Not sure that's it but I would definitely make sure that is changed.

            Also, On your Google plus profile you can add "Contributor To" under Account > Me on the Web > Review Your Google+ Profile (click the bottom link named "open your profile" > under LINKS on the right hand sidebar you'll see a section call Contributor to > Add a link to that section

            Lastly,

            I would also go to Google's Authorship Verification if you haven't done so.  https://plus.google.com/authorship

            I also really like AuthorSure plugin to help this.  It shows your profile on each particular page.  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/authorsure/

            Hope this helps.
