If you go ahead and add the variable META_TAG_VERIFY-VL with content that I put above as being “Whatever Google says to put here,” and then copy the proper syntax and format of the line that will call a variable on the header file ’site/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php’ you have to make sure it is the same variable name in both the define statement and the call statement. I don't remember why I didn't include that piece in the article. What I ended up doing was just making a (consider the % to be the same as a right or left arrow. Wordpress won't let me write html code in the comment field) Why not put both metatag contents in your html_header.php file, under the existing metatags? %meta name=”verify-v1? content=”Whatever Google says it should be” /% and %meta name=”verify-vl? content=”Whatever Google says it should be” The “whatever Google says…” part is the string Google has linked to your analytics account. For security reasons, and because I can’t remember it, I am not publishing mine in plain text on the web site.

and

The “whatever Google says…” part is the string Google has linked to your analytics account. For security reasons, and because I can’t remember it, I am not publishing mine in plain text on the web site.
