[Support request] Double Quotes has appeared in the top header

[Steig]

Hello,

I just noticed that a single “double quote” (i.e. “) is showing at the top left of the website. I have no idea when it showed up and must have been from some plugin that updated maybe? Can you somehow tell me what put it there and how I can remove it?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Any chance you can disable all plugins except GP Premium to eliminate conflicts from other plugins first?

Let me know 🙂

All plug ins are now deactivated except GP Premium and the double quotes are still there.

Hi there,

do you have any Hook Elements added to the site?

I do have one hook element for the front page. It’s a pinterest domain verification. I moved it to the blog page and sure enough the single double quote moved from the front page to the blog page.

I know that didn’t materialize when I set that hook up and can’t explain why its showing now, but how do I fix it? I suspect we need it there to keep our pinterest marketing going.

Can you share the code you have in the hook?

When adding code, please highlight the code and click the Code button before submitting .

<meta name="p:domain_verify
	content="a whole bunch of numbers and letters here"></met>"

Looks like the code is busted – where did you get the code from?
Are you able to get that original code again?

Here’s a link that describes it. This link came from the pinterest help pages. They show the exact same code. https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

Note that where I put “a whole bunch of numbers and letters” there is an actual ID that pinterest has linked to my site. I wasn’t sure if it was safe to put the actual number onto this public forum.

OK, I figured it out. The ending double quote needed to move to the end of the word “verify”. that did it. Thanks!

[David]

Glad to hear that
