    Hi,

    I’m trying to figure out how to add a google meta tag to incorporate a personalised e-mail account on my website. From the scanning the web and this site, it appears I have to put the code in the editor function under appearances on the dashboard? Can anyone confirm whether this is the case?

    Thanks

    Hi nii1978!

    There are several plugins available also that can help with that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/meta-tags

    A better practice is using an S/FTP program rather than using the WordPress editor found under the Appearance/Plugins menus. At least that way if you accidentally forget to add a semicolon, or have an extra parentheses, or forget a curly bracket, you are less likely to take down your site. I did that once a few years back to my site.

    Do I absolutely need to get a plug-in to do this?

    You don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can also simply paste what you want directly into the theme, though I wouldn’t recommend that since it will be lost if you ever decide to change themes.

    The plugin route will at least keep that information regardless of theme. There is also the wp_head hook you can use in order to place that. I know there are plugins that allow you input content like that.
