Difficulty saving the HTML meta tag for verification purposes.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing difficulty saving the HTML meta tag for Google Search Console verification in Rank Math. It seems like the tag is being altered when you try to save it.

To resolve this issue, please ensure that you are copying the entire HTML meta tag from Google Search Console, including the opening and closing tags and the content within them.

If the issue persists, you can follow these steps to add the HTML meta tag for Google Search Console verification using Rank Math:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Webmaster Tools.

2. Paste the complete HTML meta tag from Google Search Console into the Google Search Console field.

3. Click on the Save Changes button to apply the changes.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

I hope this helps!
