      I recently installed my authorship tag for my website blog, however i have notice it appears on the homepage of the site, instead of the blog.

      Any ideas how to fix it? Its on a wordpress site and the G+ definitely points to the blog link

        It's hard to tell exactly what's going on without looking at your site, but the file you want to edit is called single.php. If you add the authorship code there, your snippet should show up for every post in your blog.

          is the code showing on the source of the homepage ONLY? or for both?

          Take a look at that. You could check the plugin as it also has the ability to assign an author profile to the homepage, like yoast SEO.

            How/where did you install the rel=author tag, Adam? For instance, did you use a particular plugin?
