Hi David,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
Please make sure that you have verified the correct version of your website on the Google Search Console (http or https, www or non-www).
Then, please make sure that the Google account you used to connect your Google Search Console profile is the same one you have used to verify your domain on GSC.
If it still doesn’t work, we have found that using a different Google account to verify your domain and connect your website usually works. Or, you can try using the Google Site Kit if it still won’t work and disable the Search Console inside Rank Math by going to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard
I hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi Todd,
Thanks for the assistance. FYI, I de-authorized the search console, logged into Google again and put the new code in and now all is working perfectly.
Many thanks.
David
Oh MY God!
Ive spent all day on this!
i had the EXACT same problem and read every instruction and EVERY verification method with NO SUCCESS!
I give up and go to ask for help from rankmath.
i see this post.
de-authorise and then authorise.
FIXED!
this is obviously a common error that should be included in the common error section in the instructions.
thanks david nute!
Hi Alana,
Don’t thank me, my first Rank Math site and while suspected, still needed Todd from support to confirm it before I tried and screwed it up.
I still had to manually update the Cache btw.
Great news though.
