    Hi,

    I was trying to add the verification code from Google Webmaster Tools. Under General Setting and then Webmaster Tools it offers fields to verify different webmaster tools.
    Under the one from google I first entered something wrong as plain text and not in any <>. Now its being displayed on all pages.
    Even after I deleted it in the field and entered the correct code. Now the google webmaster tool is correctly verified but i can still see the mistakenly entered text on all pages now.
    Where and how can I take this out again ???

    Hi

    As I see, you mean the “googlece012e4931e1f6e6” located in the header.
    Once I had the same problem in another theme, displaying the code in footer of my site … I found that instead of inserting the google code in the “Google Analytics Tracking Code” box of the theme, I’ve inserted that to another box showing in footer of my page.

    So please check the Eptima theme options, I’m sure you’ll find the box 🙂

    Hope that helps.

    Hi,

    sorry but that didn’t help me.
    nothing in the eptima settings.
    it was the box in the yoast seo general settings webmaster tools.
    there must be a way to remove what ever you enter there – no?

    please help…

    Hi

    I emulated your site in this test site and activated both yoast seo and Verify Google Webmaster Tools plugins and add “googlece012e4931e1f6e6” in the settings of both plugins, thus saw “googlece012e4931e1f6e6” at the header.

    The problem is caused by mis-configuring Verify Google Webmaster Tools plugin. the “googlece012e4931e1f6e6” works fine in yoast SEO. But as you see in the plugins’s screenshot in this box you should copy the verification meta-tag. After copying the proper meta tag /or deleting the wrong code, “googlece012e4931e1f6e6” will be removed from header.
