  • Same error for me 

    Verifying your blog... failed, due to an error:

Error calling https://www.googleapis.com/siteVerification/v1/webResource?verificationMethod=META&alt=json: (400) The necessary verification token could not be found on your site.

    Which WordPress theme are you using? Has it been customized at all?

    Hi kbm,

    Custom theme that is highly customized. What do I need to add to the theme?

    We’re seeing this across our sites as well, most of them are custom themes, some are off the shelf from themeforest or Woo.

    Never mind, just saw your updated FAQ and the notice about the caching. Once I cleared that up, things worked.

    Any chance you’ll give people the option of using the various verification methods? The API allows file, meta and analytics, since some GA plugins already have the analytics verification going, could you perhaps give that option? or allow the option to use the FILE verification, the file verification would probably be easiest to implement, though probably insecure in some environments, but it would take care of the caching issue :).

    Or just put a note up saying CLEAR YO CACHE FOO! right on the “Start Verification” thing.

    In our case, it was the static nginx cache that caused the issue, which most of our clients would not be able to clear themselves.

    Yep… WP Super Cache enabled here too. Deleted cache, verification complete. Thanks!

    herozup: Make sure that your header.php file makes a PHP call to wp_head() somewhere inside the <head> tag.

    zippykid: I’m glad to hear that clearing the cache worked. I added a reminder for clearing the cache directly in the verification UI.

    I appreciate your suggestions! You’re right that both Meta and File verification methods are prone to their own unique classes of issues (caching layers, filesystem permissions, etc.) Right now we are planning on sticking with Meta, but we will monitor the success rates and forum activity to see if we need to supplement our approach with additional contingency methods.

    I have the same problem. Have deactivated caching and this code is in the header <?php wp_head(); ?> Is there something else I can try out? I run a customized version of motionpicture from https://www.obox-design.com on my site https://www.babusjka.no
