Authorship on Homepage

they were showing fine in my end. the About: Thewholeworldisaplayground widget is showing in sidebar in homepage. is it cache issue?

or do you mean the ‘author bio’ after end of the post?
you will need to add them yourself, is the plugin allow templating of the author bio code like for example
<?php show_author_bio(); ?>
maybe add this to the index.php after
<?php get_template('lib/templates/home-feat-cat'); ?>

Thanks Richie

Second point was what exactly I was looking for and it worked. I’m trying to get google authorship working but haven’t been successful so far. Hoping that putting the bio on the home page will fix it.

Thanks.

do you mean google richsnippet schema markup authorship verification? don’t think it will work in homepage. mostly done in single permalink post or page.

btw what plugin you use for the google schema authorship?

Yes I added the bio to the homepage so the rich snippet would work with the authorship verification. It’s showing in webmaster tools as working but it hasn’t fed through google yet.

The plugin is ‘custom about author’. I’m using it just to get a nice author bio at the bottom of my posts.

you could add something like this in header.php, somewhere after open body tag.

<span style="width:1px;height:1px;position:relative;left:-999em;">
<a rel="author" href="GOOGLE_AUTHOR_PROFILE_URL">your name</a>
<a rel="publisher" href="GOOGLE_PUBLISHER_PROFILE_URL">your company name</a>
</span>

and see if the google snipper verification can be passed.

Thanks Richie

My google author image started working in searches after I added the bio to the home page (with the code in your earlier post) so I haven’t added the code in last post yet!
