    You can do it by selecting ‘Text Post with “attached” blogpost’ option.

    I am still only getting the image.

    Do I have the settings wrong in one of the locations. Does the message format have to be updated which is currently New post (%TITLE%) has been published on %SITENAME%

    There are two settings:
    1. Global settings accessed through the plugin. I have Text post selected
    X Text Post – just text message
    Google+ Image Post – big image with text message
    Add blogpost to Google+ message as an attachment

    2. Individual blog setting – I have the text post with “attached” blogpost option selected.
    Text Post – just text message
    Post to Google+ as “Image post” – big image with text message
    xText Post with “attached” blogpost

    The only post there is an “Image” post. Please make sure you have ‘Text Post with “attached” blogpost’ selected when you are posting.

    Thank you for the support thus far. I have tried all the settings recommended thus far and I can not get anything but the logo to show up.

    I used the settings here: https://www.nextscripts.com/snap-features/how-snap-sets-images/ and also made sure I was using a featured image that was at least 200×200.

    I have also followed your previous guidance:

    No luck. Anymore suggestions.

    From https://www.nextscripts.com/snap-features/how-snap-sets-images/

    There are few exceptions.
    Google+, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon.
    Those networks do not provide a special way to specify the image during the autoposting. Those networks retrieve and process your link internally and set the image using their own internal algorithms. Most part of this info networks get from the OG (Open Graph) metatags. The only way to tell Google+, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon what image you would like to use is to setup og:image metatag. Most SEO plugins and most modern themes set OG metatags. There are also many specific plugins just for that.

    That basically means Google+ ignores all your settings and does everything by itself.
