Add html tag to verify domain ownership

  • Hi!

    Hope you’re all well.
    I installed the WordPress Bitnami on a gooogle VM.
    I have my website going nicely on GCP. Everything is working fine and i’m able to edit it though the wordpress interface. All good there.

    I need to verify my ownership of the domain though, so I’m choosing to do it by adding a html tag as follows (from given instructions)

    <head>
    <meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”/>
    <title> Mi título </title>
    </head>
    <body>
    contenido de la página
    </body>

    The problem is that I’ve no idea where to find the file in which I have to add the line to. Normally it’s the index.html file but I read that this WordPress by Bitnami instance doesn’t work with an html file to store the webite. I might be wrong though.

    I’d appreciate some help!
    Thanks!

    Do not edit any files. Use a plugin for this. It’s built into Jetpack, if you hae that installed, or use Yoast SEO or one of the other SEO plugins.
