Search for "Google Site Verification plugin using Meta Tag"

Click on the 1st option

Step 5:

Click on alternate method and choose the first option which will be like below

"Add a meta tag to your site's home page.

1. Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section"

On the Text box you can find something like

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="X_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />


Step 6:

copy and paste it in notepad and Copy the one in bold letters X_xxxxxxxx without " "

Step 7:

On your wordpress website click on Settings and you can find Google sitemap verification on the sub menu (This will appear only if you have activated your plugin)
