  I am trying to verify my website though Bing, and I have followed the instructions given by WordPress by copying and pasting the verification code given in the meta tag into the ‘Webmaster Tools’ section for Bing. I save the changes on WordPress, but when I return to the Bing Webmaster Page, I am given the message ‘ tag not found before : make sure you place the verification tag with the correct verification key (redacted) in the section and before the tag in your page.’ I do not have access to the entire HTML code of the website, so what should I do?

  Hi olivia3d3459a07d,

  The account you are contacting us from hasn’t created any sites on WordPress.com yet. What is the address of the one you are working on?

  If the site uses WordPress.org software with another host, the WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to post for advice (as we can only help with WordPress.com sites here).

  Hi @olivia3d3459a07d, that site is hosted with GoDaddy.

  These forums are for the free sites using our managed hosting service. Our service can be quite different from what you have as your own WordPress installation at another host.

  You’d be welcome to move the site here if you’d like!
  https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/

  Otherwise, I’d recommend checking the support forum here:
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Good luck!
