Add code to index.html file

Support
#1

Hi there,

I’m trying to get Pinterest set up and I have been asked to confirm my website by copying and pasting a tag (<meta name="blahblahblah"/>) into the <head> section of my website’s index.html file.

Do you know how I do this, bearing in mind that I am using a child theme?

Thank you,
EW

Hi Nico,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I followed the advice of the thread that you attached for me and added the following to my child theme’s functions file underneath the additional functions area:

add_action('wp_head', function(){?>

<meta name="p:domain_verify" content="[my content here]"/>

<?php });

However, when I now go to Pinterest and try to confirm the website, I get the following message:

{“code”:“MethodNotAllowedError”,“message”:“POST is not allowed”}

Do you know what I have done wrong?

Thank you,
EW

Hi There,

Would you mind providing us with login credentials(by clicking on the Secure Note button at the bottom) so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

  • Link to your site
  • WordPress Admin username / password

Thanks.

Hi,

I checked your site source code and I can see the meta code added in the head section.

You can try Pinterest Upload an HTML file Method if that doesn’t work.
