 * Hello.
 * I’m having a strange problem with authorship. Basically, when I try to verify
   it using the Google Rich Snippet testing tool, it tells me that the first rel
   =author link is [http://www.worldsfactory.net/giochi/pc/108238151824282457652](http://www.worldsfactory.net/giochi/pc/108238151824282457652)….
 * But obviously this is not true. I’ve just entered my Google ID in the field added
   by the plugin, but strangely enough instead of adding that to the usual G+ URL
   it’s using our URL structure for product categories (/giochi/pc…).
 * This is the page [ , could you give me a hand in figuring out the problem?](http://www.worldsfactory.net/giochi/pc/neverwinter-intervista-esclusiva)
 * Thanks.

 * Looking at the source of that page I see that you have this in the <head> section
   of your HTML
 * `<link rel="author" href="108238151824282457652"/>`
 * This is what Google is picking up on. Something besides Social Author Bio is 
   putting that in there. It may be another plugin or it could be your theme. It
   is right before your open graph tags, so maybe the plugin that is providing that
   is the offender.
 * I suggest you go through and disable your other plugins one by one, and test 
   with the testing tool each time to see if you can identify where the problem 
   lies.
