Authorship and Publisher on WordPress

[ufmedia]

I successfully enabled rel=publisher on our WordPress blog, and as a test I also enabled rel=authorship for a set of blog posts.  (Tested both in Google's Rich Snippets Tester.)  However, on the individual blog posts the publisher credit disappears.  Is there a way to enable both to appear on blog posts?

It actually wasn't a manual edit.  For rel=publisher, I went to a Titles & Metas under the Yoast SEO plugin, went to the Home tab, and entered the company's Google+ page there.  For authorship, I went to the author's profile page in WordPress and added their Google+ page in the appropriate field.

It sounds like this is going to take some template editing.  I'll give it a try when I can.

Thanks!

In Wordpress your main blog page is likely using one template while an individual blog post is using another.  If you are using a plugin, it may be adding the rel code to one template but not the other.  If you did a manual edit, which is usually what you have to do in this situation, then you may have only edited the blog template, or the "loop" code, but not the "single.php" document which is usually the default template for a single post page.

Wordpress will run the loop on an archive page but not on an individual blog page, so this is a separate instance of the author link and has to be installed on its own.

If you have the Firebug tool in Firefox you can look at the HTML of the page and see which template is being used by Wordpress, because most themes will put a "body class="templatename" to match the name of the wp template, so you'll know what document to edit.

If you need the markup for rel="author" you can find it here:

good luck, let me know if you want me to take a look.

Are you using a plug in?
