    I am having problems with verification. I read a WP Tech response to someone having the same problem. I followed the instructions.

    When I hit edit next to my domain I did not receive either the TXT or DNS options, I can only edit the page, so there is nowhere for verification..

    Still receiving:

    Verification method:

    Domain name provider

    Failure reason:

    We couldn’t find your verification token in your domain’s TXT records.

    Sometimes DNS changes can take a while to appear. Please wait a few hours, then reopen

    your property in Search Console. If verification fails again, try adding a different DNS TXT record.

    Please fix your implementation and reverify, or use another verification method.

    Hi there,

    Of what domain are you speaking? The account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any domain upgrades with us.

    If you’re speaking of https://dorenrobbins.wordpress.com/, you cannot edit DNS records on a free WordPress.com subdomain. To verify that site with Google Search console, please follow the instructions here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

    Also note that your plan gives you access to both live chat and direct email support. You can reach those at any time by clicking the Help icon that appears bottom-right on all the My Sites pages, or else via the direct link at https://wordpress.com/help/contact
