(sincere apologies in advance if I’ve already posted this! I couldn’t find any verification… sorry :/ )
I love the Enfold theme & have used it before with great success :)
However, I’m having a rather frustrating problem with a new site I’m building. My client wants to verify his website (which I’m currently building with Enfold, using Child Theme) with his Pinterest account, and has furnished me with the meta tag code that is supposed to be inserted into site code.
However, I’ve tried 3 different methods to successfully install this code thus far, followed the instructions exactly, and nada… the client is still not getting a successful verification.
Following is what I’ve done so far:
1st try: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/where-to-place-pinterest-verification-code-corona/2nd try: “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin – followed instructions – nada
3rd try: Used JetPack – accessed “Available Tools” & input the pinterest meta code into the area specified in the format specified. Saved Settings, then noticed that the code had automatically been abbreviated to JUST the alphanumeric code following the prefix: <meta name=”p:domain_verify” content=”…
FYI, other installed plugins:
Askimet, Hostgator WalkMe Plugin, Insert Headers and Footers plugin (deactivated), Jetpack, MOJO Marketplace (deactivated), Under Construction, WordPress SEO (deactivated), WP Super Cache (deactivated)Wordpress was set up within the last 3-4 days, and Enfold Theme license was purchased about 2 days ago & Theme installed successfully.
Before I ask my client to embark on uploading the HTML file for the Pinterest verification, I wanted to check with you to see if there’s anything specific to Enfold that may be impeding this verification code from working. I’m not a “coder” and am kind of going nuts with this…
Please let me know if you might have a solution or suggestion, et. al.
Thanks!
SusanHey susanlee123!
Have you tried to hardcode it inside the header.php, and see if works that way?
Cheers!
BasilisHi, Basilis –
Yes, that was the first thing I tried per the instructions I found here – https://kriesi.at/support/topic/where-to-place-pinterest-verification-code-corona/
And yes – I realize this instruction was not Enfold-specific, but the code in the Enfold header.php file matched exactly that outlined in the instructions (as follows:)
Place on that on header.php, find this code
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>” />
Replace it with
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ );” ?> name=”p:domain_verify” content=”xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” />
—Of course I replaced the “xxxx…” with the correct alphanumeric code after content=”.
I have been all over the web & still can not find anything that actually works. We haven’t tried uploading the HTML file yet, as I wanted to see if there was an issue with Enfold before spending even more time on this. Since SO many people use WP & the Enfold theme & Pinterest for Business, I have to think that there must be a way to implement this code within the theme admin. However, maybe just uploading the HTML file directly to the hosting server is the way to go?
Please let me know your thoughts as soon as possible –
Thanks –
SusanHey!
I would suggest going on and use the html file, as that is the easiest solution for now, and we will see if it is something that we can integrate to theme options or an other way to use it!
Cheers!
