    I’d like to use this plugin but it does not work in WordPress MU.

    Would it be a big job to make it WPMU compatible?

    Sorry, but does not seem to work with WordPress 2.7 using K2 Theme RC7.

    The plugin does not appear to accept the meta tag code and the following response is generated from Google:

    Your verification meta tag should be NZKkos4xfkcNb/ZQylq/LV6ErVnswYX5/v1P8svHv/4=. The meta tag we found was <metaname=.

    @bjh – you need to only enter the meta value not the entire meta tag.

    Hi,

    I’ve installed in the plugins directory in WPMU (regular plugins) and get this error when I submit:

    Error! Options page not found.

    Is this related to 2.7 or WPMU? I”m not sure but thought you might like to know either way.

    @Bret Holstein – I believe this is related to WPMU as this plugin has not been tested on MU.

    Hi. I’ve tried several times using Easy Verification and, while the metatag is showing up in my page source, Google Webmaster is telling me it can’t find it. Any idea why this would be? (Note: I haven’t checked Yahoo yet as they say it takes about 24 hours and I just did this.)

    @Karen Goldfarb – What is the URL of your website you are trying to verify?

    Works perfectly.
    Started a new blog. Got verified under 1 minute on Google and yahoo. What’s next for Yahoo, since Bing will be powering Yahoo Search? What’s your take?
