[Support request] Verifying Website With Google

[Lee]

Hello there, I’ve been given a verification code from Google Search Console that I need to upload to my wordpress website.

Could you please tell me where I might need to upload this code within WordPress/Generate Press?

Many thanks again,

[David]

Hi there,

you can use a Hook Element:

Add the code to the Hooks content field.
Select the wp_head hook
And set the Display Rule Location to Entire Site

Thanks David.

Although, when I do this the verification code appears on the top of the page when I view the website? I don’t want the verification code to appear on the front end of the website. I want it embedded (so that I can verify with Google) but hidden.

I hope that makes sense,

Lee.

One of them Methods Google provides for verification is the HTML Tag, it looks like this:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="your verification string">

That is all you need to hook into the wp_head hook
