# Authorship Problems Code

 * Author has entered all relevant information. Links are working fine, and has 
   linked from +profile to /author page. Richsnippets is still showing that I am
   the author of the post and showing my google+ image.
 * What might be the issue?
 * 2nd Question:
 * It seems my theme is having issues displaying the author page, and I’ve seen 
   other people have the same problem. Can I remove the code below for a temporary
   aesthetic fix til the new version comes out? Not sure if this will affect anything.
   Basically, I want to remove the author image and ‘circles’ bit.
 *     ```
       echo '<a rel="me" href="'.$googleURL.'" target="_blank" style="outline:none;">';
       				echo '<img src="'.$this->google_avatar( $googleID ).'" alt="Google Circle" /><br>Join my Circle on Google+</a>';
       ```
   
 * Thanks!

 * You can do that but it will not create the link to Google+.

 * OK, so that’s required to get the guest poster’s image in the SERPs?
 * I have done a test post here [http://onemorecupof-coffee.com/test-post](http://onemorecupof-coffee.com/test-post)
 * But rich snippets is still showing “Nathaniell” as the author of the post, not“
   Roderick”.
 * Is there some setting I have wrong or something I’m missing?

 * I looked at the source and there looks to be other sections in your HTML that
   references other Google+ profiles. It may be your theme or another plugin. Here
   is the source:
 * `Owner <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/1/116344039487587870250?rel=author"

 * You can see it at the bottom right of your page…

 * Ok, yeah. I knew that was there. I thought your plugin would still show the guest
   author’s pic.
 * So in order to show different authors, I’m going to need to remove my google 
   authorship for the site, then only do it through your plugin? ie create my own
   author profile?

 * Yes, most people setup a default profile.
 * Though, it does look like you have an error the way you put in your Google+ info
   into your example page.
 * You put [https://plus.google.com/u/0/114529273674721270601](https://plus.google.com/u/0/114529273674721270601)
 * When you should have just put: 114529273674721270601
 * That’s why your Google+ image is not coming up in the author page. This needs
   to be corrected before the SERPs will work.
