When you join a blogging community or a blogger outreach site like Guest Crew, you are often asked to verify your site by adding code to the header. This post explains where to put that code if you use Genesis. The same place is also where you put analytics code for Google Analytics or any other analytics program. Here’s how:
- Log into WordPress
- In your dashboard point at Genesis and click on Theme settings
- Scroll down to Header and Footer Scripts
- Paste the code in the box. If you already have analytics code in there, paste the new code after (outside of) the existing code. Do NOT paste it before </script>
- IMPORTANT: Click save settings. (If you don’t click save settings your changes won’t be made.)
