Strange text showing up - Its Back!
Author: David B.Yesterday I thought my problem was solved, but when I looked at my website today on several mobile devices I saw that my Google Analytics tracking code is appearing at the tom of my Home page. I went back to view it on my computer and there it is. I have manually edited the index.html file to remove the text and reupload it to my web server, so I know I can fix it, but I can't figure out why its happening. In the SEO settings I have 'Enabled Website Hit Statistics,' Selected Google Universal Analytics as my statistics engine and entered the Tracking ID I got from Google in the proper field. I also selected "Automatically Ccreate SiteMap" and entered the Verification Metataf for Google Search Console" into the appropriate field (This is the same as the Tracking ID.) So this is all I've done. Yesterday I did some minor edits to the home page and the tracking code text did not show up when I previewed it with the built in browser. After I uploaded the website, yesterday, I did think that the text wasn't there when I looked at it with my browser. But, as I said, I did notice it today. It was probably there yesterday, but I must not have refreshed my browser. Today I have made a minor edit to the Home page, but that text is not visible with the Sebsite X5 editor. However it is visible now with the built in browser. And if I view the source code in that browser, the text shows up right there in the page "Body." So here's the link to the Site and you'll see my Tracking code at the top of the home page ONLY. Ideas? Solutions? Could this somehow be happening from Google writing something back to the file? Of course I can go in and manually edit it out, but .....? Thanks in advance.
Hi David (I'm sorry for my bad English),
remove your Tracking ID for Google Universal Analytics from this place (look attachment).
If you want to fill "Verification meta tag for Google Search Console" you need another code, e.g:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="String_we_ask_for">
