    wowit sorry

    It looks to be inside the body code. What are you using Google for? Just Analytics?

    I am not sure sure? I know a little but paid an Indian comapany for seo work and then it started to show. The code was just for verify ownership.

    Hmm, without being able to see the dashboard I’m not sure that I can help other than to say I would look through the header.php or the index.php main template files in the editor to see if I could find that code. I’m not sure what the company you paid did.

    If you’re not familiar with HTML or comfortable with code DO NOT change any of the files yourself without at least making a complete backup of your site (Tools > Export) so that if something goes wrong you can revert back.

    When I inspected the page, I saw this code:

    <body class="home blog default-skin">

    If you open the header file or the index.php file (do it through your Appearance > Editor) see if you can search (ctrl + F) through those files and find that code. This code shouldn’t be displayed here. Usually Google web services runs through your site and looks for a file called robots.txt. I’m not sure why the company would have put that code where they did.

    Thank you very much for your reply. Do I stay in dashboard and appearance then editor or use an FTP program. In dashboard editor I have checked header.php and index.php but cannot see anything to do with that text.
    I am ok with html. Can you make it clearer? Do I need when you say do it through &gt: I dont understand.

    Yes, I meant through the Dashboard. Is it possible to ask the company you paid about it?

    Hi Thank you for your help. I still can not work this out. I cant ask the
    old company as they made a bad job and lied about the seo they had done.
    They copied designs and poor backlinks that did not work.
    any other ideas?
