Plugin Description

Note that Google no longer shows authorship information on search results. Due to this fact I will no longer update this plugin.

I’ve built another easy and free WordPress plugin. It will help you to integrate a special link into your posts and pages so that Google can match your content with your Google+ Profile. Once this is done your profile picture will appear in Googles search results and/or on Google News.
Please note: Google says that there is no guarantee that a Rich Snippet will be shown for your page on actual search results and/or Google News. If your profile picture does not show after some days, please read my answer on Google+ Author Snippet Photo not showing in search.

A) Set up authorship by linking your content to your Google+ profile

• Create a Google+ Profile (http://plus.google.com)
• Follow this link to open your Google+ profile: http://plus.google.com/me
• Copy your Profile-URL from the address bar to clipboard
• Go to your WordPress Admin Panel and click Users » Your Profile. Paste the above mentioned URL to the field where it says „Google Plus Author Link“.
• Click Update Profile.
• Repeat the above steps with all the other WordPress authors on your blog.

B) Add a reciprocal link back from your profile to the site you just updated

• Follow this link to edit the Contributor To section: http://plus.google.com/me/about/edit/co
• In the dialog that appears, click Add custom link, and then enter your website URL.
• If you want, click the drop-down list to specify who can see the link.
• Click Save.

C) Test

• To see what author data Google can extract from your page, use the Rich Snippet Testing Tool.

D) Anything doesn’t work out?

• Read the Google+ Authorship FAQ here (for the PRO-Version but should help you as well)

E) Need more options?

• Buy the extended edition of this plugin!

F) Need support?

• Unfortunately we can not offer support for free plugins. Please buy the Pro version to get support. Thank you!

G) Looking for a WordPress Theme which fully supports schema.org microdata?

H) Please help to translate the plugin
Just make a copy of the gpaisr.po file (which you can find in the /lang/ folder of the plugin) and translate it using a translation tool like PoEdit.
