Hello,

I am having trouble verifying my site in Google Webmaster tools and was wondering what exactly is the best approach to go about doing that?

I have tried uploading an HTML file with no success. I also tried adding the code mentioned here into the functions php file and using the webmaster tools verification code, but this ended up crashing the site.

The code I used was:

<?php
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘add_googleanalytics’);
function add_googleanalytics() { ?>
<script>Insert Your Google Analytics Code Here</script>
<?php } ?>

The other options require placing a code in the head file, but as I cannot alter the head file, I am unsure of where to place this code.

Is there a better way to go about accomplishing this?

Thanks for your time!

If you are not comfortable with code changes you can use Verify Google Webmaster Tools plugin, plugin details are:

1) Plugin name: Verify Google Webmaster Tools
2) URL: https://wordpress.org/plugins/verify-google-webmaster-tools/

Let us know how it goes.
