How can I add a meta tag in the header section of my free Dara WP theme?
-
Hey, in all the tutorials it says you have to go to ‘appearance’ and then ‘editor’, however with the free Dara theme there is no section ‘appearance’ or ‘editor’. I’m wondering how I can still add a meta tag?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Access your server via SFTP, FTP, or a file manager in your hosting provider’s control panel, pen wp-config.php and look for this line:
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);
and change this todefine('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);Save the file. Go to your wordpress admin page again. You should now be able to see the Editor menu under Appearance tab.

Hello Natalie,
What is it that you’re trying to accomplish with meta tags? There may be a different way to approach that goal.
Changes to meta tags require access to hosting files, which is not possible using WordPress.com hosting. Additionally, if your goal for your meta tags is SEO, there are many better options for optimizing your site’s SEO. See here for more information:
