 * When I try to submit the bing webmaster verification code in the Yoast plugin
   then it shows some error for word offence plugin.
 * Can anyone help to solve this?

 * Hi [@akshaydadwal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akshaydadwal/), thanks
   for your question.
 * For me, this looks like [Learning Mode](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/)
   could solve the issue. From the **Wordfence Dashboard** click on **Manage WAF**.
   Then you will see **Basic Firewall Options > Web Application Firewall Status**.
   Change the option to **Learning Mode**. This will help Wordfence learn that any
   actions during this time are normal and it will allow them in the future.
 * Try adding your verification code into Yoast again during this time.
 * Afterwards, switch the WAF from Learning Mode back to **Enabled and Protecting**.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
