  I cannot verify our site with BING even though I followed the directions. Had no trouble with Google. Contacted BING support, and they said, “Please know that the verifying your site via the CNAME method requires access to your domain hosting account. We suggest that you contact your webhost provider and request for a permission to edit the CNAME record of your account.”

  The site is http://stjev.org.

  Thank you,

  @airodyssey, thank you for your suggestion.

  I followed the directions exactly several times over the past week or so, both with WordPress and BING. Each time I did it, the content value BING gave me remained the same. Sometimes these things take a while, so I always allowed at least one to three days for the verification to go through.

  Again, there was no problem with Google.

  It seems that there is a problem with the CNAME record itself, hence BING support’s suggestion that I

  “…contact your webhost provider and request for a permission to edit the CNAME record of your account.”
