Where to find <head> to add Web master tools

  • I want to add in the meta code from G Webmaster tools.

    Where do I find the <head> so I can paste it please?

    Thanks

  • The header file should be in your theme directory wp-contents/themes/your-theme). The name of the file is header.php

    Go to Appearance > Themes > Editor > Header.php
    Then locate this code in the <head> area, and you can paste it below this:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

    At least that’s where I have mine and it works okay from there. You just want to make sure it’s before the closing </head> tag. However, I think sometimes the big G’s robot likes it better if it closer to the beginning area within the <head> codes rather than down close to the closing head tag.
