Adding the "msvalidate.01" tag required by bing to Orchard
In order to validate my ownership for Bing Webmaster Tools, I need to add the tag
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="CA6A83218C1ED72C9E6EF7298BA5549D" />
to the markup for my homepage.
After a bit of searching around, I found out that one way I could achieve this (I'm sure there are more!) was by:
- Going to the folder Orchard is installed in and navigating down through Themes > "Folder for current theme" > Views
- Opening the file "Layout.cshtml"
- Adding in the snippet of code below
@using (Script.Head()) {
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="CA6A83218C1ED72C9E6EF7298BA5549D" />
}
I did then have to flush the Orchard cache to make sure Bing picked up the addition to the page markup straight away.
