Insert Google Search Console Code

    I am told to go to dashboard->settings->seo to insert the google search console code, but the settings tab in my site doesn’t have an seo option. In fact I have never seen this option on any site I have ever built. So why does WP keep advising this?

    I notice you did not link your username to your site and failed to provide the URL for the site you are referring to.

    What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site?

    This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting.

    We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
    (3) Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    Sorry! It’s http://www.shonahstevensauthor.com/ I finally made this work by uploading the Google file to the public.html folder using CPanel. That’s the only way to do it on my site as there is no settings tab. This is a WordPress.org site, so maybe that’s why.

    shonahstevensauthor.com is hosted by GorillaServers, not by WordPress.COM. You are correct. That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and you cannot get support for it here. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
