    I am trying to verify my site in Google Webmaster Central by using my analitics account but am not able to do so. Google returns the following error:

    Verification failed for http://visualradio.eu/ using the Google Analytics method (less than a minute ago). The Google Analytics tracking code on your site is in the wrong location. You can verify site ownership with the asynchronous snippet placed in the <head> section of your home page.

    I did some searching on your forum and found this topic and some more on problems concerning the tracking code.

    Do I manually place the code in my headers or is there anaother fix for this?

    Hey marijn!

    You can use any of the many other available plugins to add in your tracking code, add it in manually (not a good idea) or try and wait for it to be recognized by google as sometimes it takes time for it to get recognized.

    I used a plugin (Super Simple Google Analytics) and this fixed the problem. Is there a specific reason why you offer the analytics input box in your theme but not place the analytics code in the header?
