    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?

    I just downloaded your plug in for my google verification tag and everytime I put it in and save it, it disappears. Google is not seeing everything – all it sees is: <meta name= Please help.


    August 3, 2010 at 10:50 am


  14. Allan Collins

    @Debbie – Just enter the content attribute of the meta tag, not the entire meta tag. In your example, just enter: ta0pdMXyo31k43ZfEz26Gvc7nnHiX55PvCkX-2Qg0yc

    You are a legend. I can’t thank you enough for this fantastic plugin.
    After about four hours of no success whatsoever this plugin sorted it.

  16. Jai

    I tried typing in every other variable including just the key like you told Debbie and it still does not work.

  17. Allan Collins

    @Jai – Which are you trying to verify? Google, Yahoo! or Bing? Please also post the meta tag supplied by that search engine….

  18. Jai

    I finally got it to work. Thanks for trying to help though. If I have anymore problems I know where to go.

    For some reason after I used the plugin, I am now getting this warning on my blog and dashboard
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home2/thefatan/public_html/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1059

    I can’t access any pages.

  20. Allan Collins

    @Jai – Easy Verification doesn’t use that function.

    However, there are a few reasons why this is happening:

    1. You are running WordPress MU.
    2. You upgraded WordPress to 3.0 and activated network mapping. (multi-site)
    3. There is another plugin that is causing the conflict.

    If item 1 and item 2 are not valid, can you post a list of plugins and versions that you are running on your site?
