You’ll either have to fig­ure out the ori­gin­al theme’s code and edit it, or refer to the details for spe­cif­ic themes below.We’re going to add the fol­low­ing (and modi­fy it as it explains).If they are we will just add the extra dateUp­dated item­prop but if they are dif­fer­ent we will out­put some extra text to the visitor We are going to check if the pub­lished and updated dates are the same.You can search through your theme files, or refer to theme spe­cif­ic details below where I have provided details for lots of themes This will almost cer­tainly use the word­press func­tion get_the_date(). We need to find the file that con­tains the code which gen­er­ates the pub­lished link.We will need to do this for posts, pages, archives and the homepage. We’re going to add some addi­tion­al inform­a­tion to post head­ers, both for search engines and for our vis­it­ors. We’re also going to change from micro­formats to microdata at the same time. I recom­mend the prop­er way of course, but if neces­sary you can resort to the quick hack. This is a pity, because updated is required where­as pub­lished actu­ally isn’t! Adding it is easy though, and again, there are 2 ways, the prop­er way and the quick hack way. Most word­press themes include inform­a­tion about when the post was pub­lished in the post inform­a­tion area, but very few also include when it was last updated. This code will use the post author’s google pro­file url if there is a val­id one, and will use a default (yours) if there isn’t. Don’t for­get to change my google pro­file url to yours. If you’re insist­ent about not using the Yoast plu­gin you will need to manu­ally add the fol­low­ing code to header.php (assum­ing you have one).Now, if you’re using the Yoast plu­gin, go to the SEO menu and select Titles and Metas, click on the Home menu at the top of the page and in the Author high­light­ing pull­down box select the user you want to use as the author of the homepage.Make sure either you, or your oth­er site authors do the same thing, and each link to your own google profiles.In the Google+ field add a link to your google pro­file (e.g.

Install the Yoast SEO plu­gin OR add the fol­low­ing code to the functions.php file of your themeĪdd_filter ( ‘user_contactmethods’, ‘update_contactmethods’, 10, 1 ).There are 2 altern­at­ive ways to do this, I highly recom­mend using the Yoast SEO plugin. Now we need to add a link from your author page to your google pro­file. )Īdd a link from your site to your google profile Make sure the box to the right of the text con­trib­ut­or to is set to public.Under the con­trib­ut­or to sec­tion click Add cus­tom link.Scroll down until you see the links sec­tion some­where towards the bot­tom right of the page.Ideally you will need all of your authors to have a google pro­file that is linked to your site in the same way as this. You will see on my google+ pro­file that I have a pub­lic link to - you will need the same for your own site. So lets get started… Add a link from your google profile to your site Once you’ve man­aged that you should find adding extra markup is rel­at­ively easy. I’m not going to cov­er all the option­al extras in this art­icle, just the basics to get your site to val­id­ate with the tool. It also makes more sense as sev­er­al of the steps are the same regard­less of what theme you are using. This makes it easi­er to keep up to date, and means there is just 1 cent­ral point for all requests and dis­cus­sion. Instead of hav­ing lots of sep­ar­ate art­icles for dif­fer­ent themes I’ve decided to try to provide all the inform­a­tion in 1 guide.
