can someone please help me out here? i have been on the phone multiple times and sent an email and just need to get this simple step done. if you can just say “do this, and this and this, i can do but i can’t seem to find what they are saying i need–the CSS home page where there’s a body and head–

my site is http://www.kathyescobar.com.

thank you so much!

here’s what google says to do.
HTML tag
Add a meta tag to your site’s home page.
1. 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.
Show me an example
<html>
<head>
<meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”codeisprovided” />
<title> My title </title>
</head>
<body>
page contents
</body>
</html>
2. Click Verify below.
To stay verified, don’t remove the meta tag, even after verification succeeds.

Thanks for writing in and I’m very sorry to hear about your issue,

First of all, please update your X theme and X shortcode, you’re still using 1.2.0 while the latest version is already 2.6.0

and we have already implemented an automatic update feature on the latest version which means this will be the last time will you’ll be updating X manually,

You can follow the update guide from here -> http://theme.co/x/member/kb/updating-your-theme-and-plugins/

Regarding about your question, you first need to set-up a child theme for that, You can download the child them from here -> http://theme.co/x/member/child-themes/ and install the one that corresponds with the stack you use, (please be aware that you need to re-assign your menus and other widgets when switching theme from one to another).

After installing and activating the child theme, you need to add this code below in your child theme functions.php ( Appearance > Editor > functions.php ) Make sure to change the meta tag

add_action('wp_head','cmk_google_verifiy_meta');
function cmk_google_verifiy_meta() { ?>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="codeisprovided" />
<?php
}

I hope this helps and clarifies,

Have a great day

it’s pretty frustrating because i think it should be much easier than it is.

how could i not have known i was this behind on updates? i have never seen anything inside X in my dashboard that has told me to update.

i downloaded the newest version and tried to upload it but it said “duplicate file” so i am not sure what to do next. there’s no way i can see that is just to replace with the update.

can you please walk me through this so i can get the update in properly and then figure out this whole child theme thing so i can get this code in as soon as possible.

thank you. i’d love to have this done this weekend.

Automatic update was just made possible with X theme 2.5.0. If you’re coming from older than 2.5.0, then you will have to do manual update.

You may check this thread for further instruction.

The problem I see is because you haven’t updated X theme yet,

I can see you’re still using x version 1.2.0 http://kathyescobar.com/wp-content/themes/x/style.css

Can you provide wordpress and FTP access to your site? If you can do a back-up for your site, I’ll update X theme for you.

Cheers
