* Within **Webmaster Meta Settings**, the **Google Search Console Verification
Code** AND **Bing Webmaster Verification Code** are entered without quotes as
is suggested by the fields placeholder text.
* However, when it renders on the frontend the codes omit the quotes ”
* For example:
* Should be:
* This is not a problem for Google verification. However, Bing won’t verify. Not
a big deal, simply uploaded the xml they provide.
* Thank you!

* Hi Manny,
* TSF renders the attributes with quotes. But, Bing should be able to parse them
without, as it’s still valid HTML.
* In any case, the removal of the quotes is a side-effect of an HTML minification
plugin. We have no control over the output after it passes through its minification
buffer. So, see if you can tweak the minification settings so to reintroduce
the quotes, and it’s fixed!
* Cheers 🙂

* You are correct on both fronts [@cybr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/)
* Bing should be able to parse them as valid html, but then again we are taking
about Microsoft.
* The HTML magnification benefit is worth this minor inconvenience so I will just
leave verification to the XML until bing gets their act together.
* I apologize for assuming it was an issue with your plugin. Which is fantastic
by the way. Switching from yoast and google xml plugins to just yours. Well done
sir!
