It should go in the section, before the first section.” But I cant find where the code for the home page is located.

I really appreciate it! I should have been more clear. I’m not trying to add Analytics code. I’m trying to add the validation code that Google requests so that they can confirm that I own the website. This will speed up their process of indexing the website. * [kubegusa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kubegusa/) * (@kubegusa) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180275) * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-to-add-meta-tag-to-validate-site-with-google?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-to-add-meta-tag-to-validate-site-with-google?replies=3) * [Andrew Bartel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew-bartel/) * (@andrew-bartel) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180276) * Try header.php in your theme root. * Thread Starter [bobbedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbedi/) * (@bobbedi) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180278) * Thanks for the feedback. I went to the dashboard as suggested in the link, but dont see any of the edit links mentioned there. And I don’t know where to find the header php under Themes. I’m using the “Responsive” template by ThemeID, if that is helpful to know. * [kubegusa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kubegusa/) * (@kubegusa) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180279) * check the actual file using FTP * Thread Starter [bobbedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbedi/) * (@bobbedi) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180280) * I’m sorry kubegusa. I dont know how to do that. Do you think I should just try to find support from the ThemeID people? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180282) * Responsive’s dedicated forums are top-notch so you should definitely post there! * [http://themeid.com/responsive-theme/](http://themeid.com/responsive-theme/) * Thread Starter [bobbedi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbedi/) * (@bobbedi) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locating-home-page-source-code/#post-3180283) * Thanks for the suggestion WPyogi.
