 * Hi,
 * when I try to verify my GSC account through the tag manager option it fails: 
   Google Tag Manager-fragment is on the wrong location on the page.
    I have disabled
   all plugins, changed theme, but the error remains. I am using GTM4WP. Can you
   see what I’m doing wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwrong-location-for-verification%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * There is an SVG icon placed between the opening body tag and the noscript/iframe
   part of the container code. This is a theme issue, please have a look at your
   WP template and make sure that the wp_body_open hook is placed right after the
   opening body tag without any other tags in between.

 * Hi Thomas,
 * thanks for your answer. Unfortunatly I am not that skilled, so I don’t know what
   to do with your response.
 * I figured out that the svg part on top of the body is caused by wordpress itself:
   it appearantly caused by the new duotone svg option now available in the gutenberg
   editor. There is a discussion ongoing as to why this is not an option you can
   disable: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/38299](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/38299).
 * I changed the theme to twenty-twenty-one, still the svg part remains on top before
   the noscript/iframe part of the container code.
 * Any ideas what I could try next?

 * Hi,
 * As long as there is no option to disable this svg element, there is nothing you
   can do. GTM wants you to add the noscript/iframe part just after the opening 
   body element. GTM4WP uses a code that can inject this code into the right place
   IF another plugin or even the core WP does not mess with this.
