Setup/Installation: Google+ (Google Plus) - Social Networks Auto-Poster

How to setup Google+ (Google Plus) in SNAP WordPress plugin and API

Important! Google+ don’t have a built-in API for automated posts yet. You need to get a special API library to be able to post to Google+.

Google+ is no longer available for consumer (personal) and brand accounts  [Google Notice and FAQ]
Personal account (such as @gmail.com account) will not work.
Google+ for G Suite will continue to exist. SNAP works fine with G Suite accounts, so please use only your G Suite login here.
