Verifying Concrete5 with Google.
Permalink
I have read your other posts about google verifing concrete 5 websites, but am still having trouble with google recognizing mine.www.www.clearlycleanwindowwashing.com...
It always gives me an error when I hit the "verify" meta tag button. Saying the following:
"http://www.clearlycleanwindowwashing.com/
Verification status Not Verified - Last attempt 24 minutes ago - Show history Hide history"
I have read your other posts like:
http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=23994...
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/adding_google_meta_...
but still have not had success.
I’ve put googles meta tag data in the main “tracking code” box on the “dashboard” page. But still having trouble with google verifying my website address.
Can you give me a step by step walk-through? I have spent hours on this and still can’t figure it out?
Please walk me through slowly as I am not that computer savvy.
Thanks a million! You guys are the pros!!!

Ok, thanks for your help. Here's what I'm doing so far. I go to:
dashboard/pages and themes/
then I'm sort of lost. Do I go to "customize" and select something there? I don't know where I should paste in the code.
Where is "elements/header.php located?

it's a file!
open your preferred ftp application and edit your theme.

Thanks for your help and paitence with me Remo.
I'm using Plain Yogurt. I went to Themes. All is see here is Activate Preview Inspect and Customize.
As you say how do I edit my theme?

go to your ftp program NOT IN Concrete5
navigate to /concrete/themes/default find the file header.php
download it
add the meta tag
upload it tada!

agree with Mnkras...
How did you install concrete5 on your server? FTP, right?
Open your FTP program and go to your /themes folder.
Open the folder of the theme you are using.
Go into the /elements folder and download/open the header.php file.
Add the META tag Google provided to the <head> section of this file.
Save and then upload/overwrite this file to your themes /elements folder.
Also, another option Google gives you is to upload an HTML file to your root directory. This might be easier for you if you're not comfortable with editing theme files. Just grab the HTML file from Google Analytics, use your FTP program to upload it to the main directory of your site, and validate.

I did the whole verify with google thing the other day by just going to my homepage and sticking their code snippet in the "header extra content" page attribute. takes like 2 minutes.
Yeah, this is the way I've done it, too.
Go to your home page, choose Properties, and select the "Custom Fields" tab. In the "add field" dropdown is where you'll find the "header extra content" attribute. Add the code Google supplies (should just be one tag) there.
Publish the changes and you should be good to go.

Yeah, this is the way to go. Very easy, very quick! Thanks guys!!!
you have to put the meta tag in the header file of your theme - themes/<your-theme>/elements/header.php
