# Authorship support

This is how an article will look in the Google search results with authorship enabled:

### 1. You need a google + profile (the authors profile)

Open your profile

Click edit profile

Add your site to the Contributor to section

Make sure the url points to your live/test site

### 2. Link your google + profile with the theme

Open your author profile from wp-admin

In the google-plus section add your Google+ profile url

That's it! :) You can have multiple authors, each with it's google plus account linked like this sample.

# Rich snippet support for reviews

This is how a review will appear in the google search results:

### What do I have to do to enable this?

Nothing :) . This feature is enabled by default and all this information is automatically generated by the theme from the review data you enter.

# Testing the authorship and snippets

1. Go to the Google Structured Data Testing Tool
2. Paste the url that you want to test there. You should test an article post and also a review post

# Permalink structure

Change the default `?p=123` permalink to Post name or a Custom Structure like `/%category%/%postname%/`.

Each permalink has advantages and disadvantages, so here is a short list:

Using the Post name:

+ easy to use
+ no problems with multiple categories
- posts with similar titles / slugs from different categories may get penalized because it will be harder for the search engine to get your site structure

Using `/%category%/%postname%/`

+ If you don't use multiple categories/post this works very well for SEO. It tells google the exact structure of the site.
- Only the first category will show in the url, if you have multiple categories / posts this is not really helpful. For example if you have a post in Fun and Funny categories, the url for that post will be: site.com/Fun/Post-name/ and site.com/Funny /Post-name/ will redirect to the first url. This will put more weight on the short/first in alphabet categories.
- Problems with the featured posts. Sometimes the featured category is selected for the url.
