What are the issues with Facebook Domain Verifications in Webflow custom code?

Facebook Domain Verification in Webflow often encounters issues due to how Webflow handles custom code in project settings. Below are common problems and their solutions.

1. Meta Tag Fails to Verify

• Ensure the meta tag is placed in Webflow under Project Settings > Custom Code > Head Code.
• The tag should be formatted like this: <meta name="facebook-domain-verification" content="your-verification-code">.
• Publish the site and verify that the meta tag appears in the source code by inspecting the page.

2. Cache Issues Prevent Verification

• Facebook might be caching an old version of your site.
• Use Facebook Sharing Debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to scrape the latest version of your site before retrying verification.

3. Wrong Domain Submitted

• Verify that you're adding the exact domain (including "www" if applicable) in the Facebook Business Manager.
• If using a Webflow subdomain (e.g., yoursite.webflow.io), Facebook will not accept it. You must use a custom domain.

4. Webflow Not Publishing Custom Code

• Ensure you publish the site after adding the verification tag.
• If publishing doesn’t work, verify that Webflow is not blocking custom code due to site plan restrictions.

5. Conflicting Meta Tags

• If you’ve attempted verification multiple times, check for duplicate conflicting meta tags in Webflow’s Head Code section.
• Remove any unused or duplicate verification meta tags before retrying.

Summary

To successfully verify your domain, add the Facebook verification meta tag in Project Settings > Custom Code > Head Code, then publish your site and test using Facebook’s Debugger tool. Ensure you’re verifying the correct domain and that Webflow has published the custom code properly.
