Default Getting Google Webmaster to verify my WP Blog website question.

Hi guys,
Please could I ask your advice? I am battling to verify my WP blog in Google Webmaster. It was fine until I switched from a standard website to a WP blog.

I tried verifying using the option "Verify with analytics" but it tells me the code is in the wrong place. I have loaded the Google Analytics WP Plugin but Webmaster is not giving me any data.

Apparently I have to edit the webpage with the verification code in the <head> section but I have absolutely no idea which WP file to put the verification code into.

Having a really blonde day here

Thanks Di

Edit: Having the problem with both my sites.

The meta tag should be in your header.php file

Have you tried just uploading the verification file to your root directory (and then click verify)? That is the easiest way to verify in my opinion.

Regards,

Tony

Hi Tony,

I did that when I verified Google Analytics. This was Google Webmaster and the process is slightly different but Roady's suggestion worked and my problem is solved ( I think). I will check tomorrow to see whether my site has been indexed by Google.

Thanks
Di
