  How do you complete Facebook domain Verification for a wordpress.com blog? The two options to do Facebook domain verification are DNS Verification or HTML File upload. I don’t understand how to do either of those on a wordpress.com blog.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Errr, no. I am trying to complete facebook domain verification so that I change the picture shared on facebook when a blog post is shared there. You know, the thing they recently introduced that means you can’t change the picture to go with the facebook post unless they believe you own the domain? Domain verification is the way you prove to them that you own the domain.

  hi,

  Wordpress.com will not let you upload a html file for domain verification.

  Use the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/domain-verification#dns-txt method to verify.

  You can add a TXT entry in https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/
  Here’s a sample screenshot
