      is all in one seo getting rid of my google authorship? I had it before and after installing All in One it is not coming up anymore. I have nothing in the google plus field of the main All in one settings, and I have it inserted in my user->your profile. When I view page source it is there. But it does not show up in the search, see:

      https://www.google.com/search?q=chicago+nightlife+superstar

      It even works in the rich snippet tester:

      http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.howlatthemoon.com%2Fdueling_piano_bar%2Fchicago-nightlife-superstar%2F&html=

      Also my title has changed. It is correct in the tester but not in Google. Please help!!!

        I believe that if it's showing up in the tester and on your blog posts with your author bio, you are all set. Whether or not Google shows it in the SERPs seems to be haphazard and to take time. Mine shows up in lots of places but on only select Google listings.

        We also use All in One SEO, btw. At the moment, I am usable to recall if there was something special I had to do to enable the snippet to appear. I just took a look and nothing stood out. If I come up with anything, I'll let you know.

          Gina is correct. Google does not guarantee that it will display your photo in the SERPs, even if you have the right authorship code. Author snippets are pretty finicky, and can disappear one day then reappear the next.

          It looks like the code is set up properly, so just focus on continuing to build up your author profile, and the picture should start showing up again.

            Hello again, Lee.

            My memory was jogged: We installed the Authorsure plugin and I believe that's what got the G. Authorship deal working on our blog posts and author pages when we were challenged.

            Hope that's helps.

              Ok cool. Do you know which settings I would need to select for a multiple user site to get the author snippet to show in the SERP?

                hmmm. There is a choice for "Primary Author" and then it says you can override the setting on individual archive pages.  Other than that, I can't see anything that would go towards answering your question. I recommend going to http://www.authorsure.com to see if there is any documentation on that. The guy who created the plugin, Russell Jamieson, is a really nice guy and is very helpful. He has a page on Google+ where you can get support.

                Good luck!
