Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with removing the Google verification tag from Rank Math on your website. Thank you for providing your website link, myhousehaven.com.
To remove the Google verification tag added by your old partner, you can follow these steps:
-
Navigate to the Theme File Editor:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Appearance → Theme File Editor.
-
Locate and Remove the Verification Code:
- Look for the code related to Google verification in your theme files (functions.php or other relevant files).
- Remove any code related to Google verification that you find.
-
Re-Verify Your Site on Google:
- If needed, re-verify your site on Google Search Console using the correct verification method.
If you have already tried these steps and the tag is still present, please ensure that you have removed all instances of the verification code from your theme files. If the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Best regards.

i cant locate any verification code in theme files,or webmaster tool portion
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
The tag is added in Rank Math > General Settings > Webmaster Tools
If the code is already removed there, clear your website and server’s cache. Then, head over to your WordPress dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools
Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode.
You can follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:
