    According to Google’s instructions:

    Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site’s home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.

    How do I proceed? I am using a Child Theme.

    Hello There,

    Thanks for writing in! Since you have a child theme, you no longer need to manually insert the code in the header section. We can have a custom function code. Please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

    function add_google_meta() { ?>
   
   <!-- code starts here -->
   you will insert the given code here
   <!-- code ends here -->

<?php }
add_action('wp_head', 'add_google_meta');

    Hope this helps.
