Hi,

How can I verify my wordpress website with Google webmaster
tools.

adding the meta tag doesn't work because the index page
is index.php Google only accepts index.html

when upload an html page to my wordpress site Google says

Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
Last attempt Aug 26, 2008: We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.

any suggestions

thanks

    <html>
    <head>
    <meta name="verify-v1" content="googlescodethattheygiveyou=" />
    <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    at the top of your index.php template in wordpress
    and your verified

    • I know you asked this question a while ago, but maybe someelse is asking the same question..

      You could always use the html file option, this will work.
      Simple make a file using notepad, name it to the filename Goggle gave you and upload to your / or /public_html/ folder..

      Thats it all done..

      Take care
