9Rich Snippets code for the Twenty Eleven theme

I’ve pre­vi­ously detailed the code for enabling rich snip­pets in vari­ous word­press themes ([int­link id=“2948” type=“post”]Mystique 2[/intlink], [int­link id=“2949” type=“post”]Mystique 3[/intlink], [int­link id=“2468” type=“post”]Thesis[/intlink] & [int­link id=“3017” type=“post”]Me Gusta[/intlink]) as well as some [int­link id=“1520” type=“post”]generic instructions[/intlink]. Below is a set of edits to enable rich snip­pets in the built-in word­press twenty elev­en theme.

1. Edit functions.php, line 584, edit the first line of the func­tion twentyeleven_posted_on() and change

<time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">

to

<time class="entry-date updated" datetime="%3$s">

2. Edit content-page.php, line 14

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->

add the fol­low­ing 2 lines

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<span class="updated"><span class="value-title" title="<?php the_date(); ?>"></span></span>
By <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span></span>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->

3. Make sure your author inform­a­tion page has a link to your google+ profile
Edit functions.php, at the bot­tom add

function yoast_add_google_profile( $contactmethods ) {
// Add Google Profiles
$contactmethods['google_profile'] = 'Google Profile <abbr title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</abbr>';
return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'yoast_add_google_profile', 10, 1);

then go to your word­press pro­file page (dash­board: Users: your pro­file) and fill in the google pro­file URL section

4. Edit author.php to link to google pro­file, edit line 28 (between >header> and </header>) and replace

<h1 class="page-title author"><?php printf( __( 'Author Archives: %s', 'twentyeleven' ), '<span class="vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( "ID" ) ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_the_author() ) . '" rel="me">' . get_the_author() . '</a></span>' ); ?></h1>

with

<h1 class="page-title author"><?php printf( __( 'Author Archives: %s', 'twentyeleven' ), '<span class="vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_the_author_meta( "google_profile" ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_the_author() ) . '" rel="me">' . get_the_author() . '</a></span>' ); ?></h1>
