Okay, let’s see if I can describe this issue succinctly. I use the hosting service webfreehosting.net, I have used the wordpress plugin with no success, and I have manually placed the .well-known folder in the root directory of my web file manager. Yet I can not verify my site. I have tried all of the methods available and nothing works. I place the full path into my browser and get a 404 error when trying to access the brave-rewards-verification.txt. There is no good info on this issue. I really hope someone can help so I don’t have to give up on Brave because I have loved it up to this point.
My website is https://www.decommer.com
That seems to be more difficult than it should be also. I’m registered through Google with enom. They call Google a reseller, so for some reason that limits my access to full control. I can’t add a TXT record either on their actual .com site, or through their domain control panel. Nor through Gsuite… I understand it is important to prove you own a website, but man! Isn’t there some sort of proof of authorship technology that can do that?! Some… decentralized ledger or something!? I don’t know. Hehe.
I think I have tried it all. I just might not be allowed to create publicly accessible .well-know folders on my site. I’m waiting for a response from Google, but they’re pretty slow.
Thanks Steeven,
I think I’m just going to have to wait for enom and google to give me a response and access to the dns settings. However long that might take. I realize that this is no fault of the Brave browser. If I can get this fixed I’ll be back with a solution for sure!
Wow. Noooo help from enom or Google on this one! I figured out how to verify very easy through cloudflare! I initially signed up to get https working on my site and apparently you can edit dns settings through them much easier than through enom. I added their nameservers to my enom dns, and went through their control dashboard to enter the TXT record in their dns settings. Now I just have to wait for the 24-48 verification through Brave. Whew. The internet is hard sometimes!
