    Hi, I’ve gone through multiple sites and support forums but haven’t been able to find one answer to where I can find my html.index or html.php file on my self-hosted wordpress site. It doesn’t seem to be visible upfront in the themes. I’m not very comfortable with code, so was also wondering if there’s a recommended widget I can use for this. I need to do this so I can insert an HTML tag so that my site is verified by Pinterest. Thanks in advance!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Moreover, index.php file stored in theme folder. for e.g C:\[AMPSERVER]\www\[Wordpressfolder]\wp-content\themes\[themefolder]

    Hope it helps you!

    Thanks! I had seen that page actually, but it led me to different ways of doing the same thing and I couldn’t locate the header.php file it mentions. The Pinterest help page also seems to have instructions for an older version of WordPress so i wasn’t sure where to go from there!

    Hey
    Gayatri

    First, if you have the Yoast SEO plugin installed on your WordPress site, then

    visit SEO

    ? Social page from your WordPress admin area.

    Under the Facebook tab, you need to make sure that

    open graph settings

    are enabled.

    Next, you need to go to the

    Pinterest tab

    . In the Pinterest confirmation field, you need to paste HTML tag that you copied previously.

    Once you are done, click on the Save Changes button.

    If you are not using the Yoast SEO plugin, then you need to install and activate Insert Headers and Footers plugin.

    Upon activation, you need to visit Settings ? Insert Headers and Footers page in your WordPress admin area. In the Scrips in the Header section, you need to paste the HTML tag and click on the Save button.

    Once the HTML tag is added in your website’s header section, you need to go back to the Pinterest screen and click on the Next button in the popup. It will now ask for confirmation to send your site to review.

    Normally, the process takes

    24 hours,

    and you get an email about the verification of your website. Once it’s done, you’ll also see the confirmation on Claim Website section in Pinterest.

    Thank You
