fourday Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) - - > I'm Trying to verify my domain for Google's G suite. Google wants me to upload an html file they gave me to verify I own the site. Sounds easy, but I have the cloud version and pretty much don't see how to do this in the interface. I can add graphics, content, databases, etc, etc. But how do upload an html file? I've built the entire site/community using the built in wysiwyg tools, yet I don't know code or apparently some basics. Thanks will trade someone for graphics help. 🙂 Edited September 12, 2020 by fourday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Can use the following guide as a base, just need to grab the contents of the file Google gave you and name the page the same as the file theyve provided you. https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/suite-applications/pages/tips-tricks_361/creating-a-robotstxt-or-adstxt-file-r318/ fourday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also have the option to make DNS entries instead. I'd recommend doing it this way. https://support.google.com/a/topic/1409901 fourday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, it's not working. I was able to create a new page, name it the file name provided by Google, turned off wrapper, pasted the provided html file content, enabled permissions for all to see.... but Google is unable to verify. Will keep working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I log into google domains... it says this: "It looks like you've changed your name servers. All settings for your domain (including website, email, synthetic records and resource records) are currently disabled. To enable these settings, you will need to restore the Google Domains name servers." ugh Edited September 13, 2020 by fourday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCake Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with what tools IPS offers cloud customers for maintaining DNS entries. You'll need to make the edit with whoever runs your domain's nameservers, and if you're seeing that message, it's not Google. While you may have purchased your domain through Google, you probably have custom nameservers setup. If IPS doesn't offer control of your nameservers if they are maintaining them, then you could move them back to Google with IPS' assistance on the necessary A/CNAME records used to enable CIC. fourday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
