  Hello, I put google code according to instructions at https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  However, when I click verify, meaning i want to access webpage https://tigerontheroad.wordpress.com/googlef94f80ac97d1d83f.html .
  I receive a warning message ‘Oops! That page can’t be found.’

  any ideas ?

  Hello,
  Try going through the Google site verification steps again. The code you get from Google and paste into WordPress.com should look like this (but with a different series of characters):

  <meta name="google-site-verification" content="rc2RXSkjV5rz9P2s2hTwdDsnwTu4tD-gmruKUrqBGjs" />

  I found the issue – one must go to “Alternative methods” on google website. There is a different metadata than on “Recommended method” tab.

  Thanks !
