Attempting to verify webmaster tools- Changes won’t save

  • I am attempting to verify my blog in webmaster tools. I have been trying to do this via them meta tag they provide. I’ve looked up several methods to do this, and so far, none of them have been successful. I have attempted to edit the header.php file in the themes editor, and when I click “update file”, it goes to a white, blank screen, and my changes do not save. This has happened on several browsers and using two different logins. Am I doing something wrong in this process? I have also read that there should be a section to add webmaster tools in the “tools” section, but that does not appear in my account. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Try decativating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that did not resolve the issue, you may need to increase PHP’s memory allocation.

    First, try installing the Memory Bump plugin.

    If that doesn’t work, here are four ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

4. Talk to your host.

    You could also try a plugin like these:
