Step 1. Add a G+ photo.

Step 2. Add Contributor To Section in G+ profile

Step 3. Get Copy really long set of digits.

Step 4. Add byline on WordPress and about page

Step 5-Google Authorship Plugin, including Yoast SEO.

Step 6.- paste  Google+  in WP profile.

Step 7.- Go to Google Webmasters and check red snippets.
