Can't verify my site with Gogle, why???

    Until few days ago all was fine, my site was verified.
    And suddenly it appeared to be not verified. I checked the Google file and it is in the root folder like it was before. It returns this:

    We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.

    I checked live HTTP headers and checked that 404 page returns 404 not found as it suppose to be. So what is the problem?

    I have 3 sites and only 2 of them that are sub-domains have this problem.

    Please help, I really appreciate it

    If you have any third party script installed then you may face problem. Script like wordpress adds default 404 page. I would suggest to verify your site using META vevrification.

    What's wrong with default 404 page? It still works on one of WP sites.
    And it worked all the time on other WP sites till now
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Vadim

    You should try to add the verification code in your index page instead of uploading the html file in your root folder. Because this things used to happen whenever your hosting server don't respond while Google bot visit your website. :)
