I am trying to authenticate my personal website link. I copied that line of html and added it to my website, but it hasn’t changed. Do I need to refresh something? I tried it with the code on the homepage and on another page but neither worked. Can anyone help? #coso #help

@BipolarArtist
Just to make sure. You dropped to code into your website but when you use the live link on your site to link back to coso it doesnt bring you back?

Does the link buffer? Do you get an error code?

Before you answer, 1 common issue is not copying full code. Did you make sure that you copied everything in the box by using short keys rather than mouse?
Not trying to insult your skill, its just a common error and im going down the list of possible trouble shooting steps.

@BipolarArtist @Jeber

This is the mobile version of the landing page. The link from your website will take folks to a viewing page outside of coso that sort of looks like this (without the edit profile button). If you're on mobile it takes you back inside to coso not the landing page. On desktop it does take you to the personal landing page

@Bliss @BipolarArtist
Got ya. So there should be an indication on our profile that it's working.

@Jeber @BipolarArtist

Everything is fine from my perspective. It takes me to your landing page. This is what non-coso folks and coso desktop subscribers will see when they click on your website link. You're good.

BTW, beautiful artwork on your landing page.

@Bliss @Jeber thank you so much! Still not getting the green check on CS though.

@BipolarArtist @Jeber I on't know what green check you're referring to. I don't have a green check either on my landing page if that's where its supposed to be. Is that something indicated in the user guide?

@Bliss @Jeber check out J’s page. His links in his profile are green, signifying that coso recognizes you as the owner.

@BipolarArtist @Jeber I see what you mean. I'm going to tag @phase and @MrGoat so they can let you know about the checkmarks next to the pro subscriber names/handles.

Glad at least we were able to fix your webpage. I subscribed to your site because you do beautiful work.

@Bliss @BipolarArtist @phase @MrGoat
Got them all fixed up except Medium. It doesn't seem to like HTML.

@Jeber, nicely done. How/where did you add it to those pages?

@BipolarArtist @Jeber This is an example of where the code goes for a REL=ME verify.

@MrGoat @Jeber ok thanks. Unfortunately I can’t directly change the html of the website. I am guessing that when I add the snippet it is getting buried in another level and not neatly in the “body” tag.

@BipolarArtist If you can't change the code then you do not own the site ? @Jeber

@MrGoat @Jeber it is built using GoDaddy’s website builder. My control over the design is limited because I did not build it from scratch. But I own the domain and everything else associated with the site. I am the only one who has control over what content is on the website.

@BipolarArtist You should be able to edit in code view as well as a GUI view. >.> @Jeber

@MrGoat @Jeber interesting, ok let me dig into this a little deeper. I really appreciate the help.

@BipolarArtist With any web builder there should be the option to see the code and edit that way. I can't remember one that didn't allow me to do so. I've used wix and other things like angelfire in the past. @Jeber

@BipolarArtist Further this is straight from GoDaddy

@MrGoat this is what I have already done. If you check out my website https://damienkanerigden.com at the bottom is this href link to counter social. That was added using the method in this instruction.
