When ever I try to use the Google Website Verification tool, it always gives me this error: We weren't able to verify your property: http://www.ferrorods.us/ I have tried every single way to get it verified, but it will not work. I know this is not my host because it worked before I installed October. Is this an issue in .htaccess? Thanks.

Yes, .html files should be whitelisted for Search Console verification around this line: https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/.htaccess#L31

There are also alternate methods - HTML tag for example.

Hi,

Like Eoler say its more easier to include a meta tag or adding dns txt entry.

meta tag wont work for some reason, and cant use dns txt entry because of the .us domain.

Did you try with a public folder?

Use this comand

php artisan october:mirror public/

And than map your domain to this public folder. Inside this public folder you can upload your google verify html.

This is what I did, and it worked! Thanks :)
