Description Have you ever seen profile pictures beside search results on Google? This plugin helps you to generate this Google+ Author Information in search results by replacing the author link in your theme template with your Google+ profile link.

Features

WordPress 3.6 ready! (tested already with 3.6RC2) Adds a special link to every post, page or your own custom post types so that Google can crawl your site and link it with your Google+ Profile. It’s possible to replace the author link with your Google+ Profile link (if your theme supports this functionality – if it does not you can add it at the top or bottom of your blog post, in the widget-area, or in the header of a webpage). The plugin will add a special field in the authors profile page on your Wordpress blog. Every author can include his own Google+ Profile URL. The plugin checks automatically if the link was installed correctly. New in Version 2.0: Link your Google+ Page with your website! With a click of a button you can easily check how your future search results look like by using Google`s Rich Snippet Testing Tool.

English and German is included with the plugin already. A “translation.pot” file comes with the plugin for easily translate it to your own language. Yes, it is multisite compatible!
