All of a sudden earlier this week my site started reporting in Google Webmaster Tools that it no longer is verifying. It had been verifying successfully for months so I'm really confused what is going on. The error that I'm getting is: We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header. I went back and have cleaned up my 404 page some see here for an example. I don't know what else to do to get this to verify again. I am verifying by the download a file method instead of the add meta tag. There isn't really any good help on the web anywhere to resolve my specific problem so I don't know what to do. Any help would be great!
that is due to your htaccess containing ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com erase that line, verify and reput
your domain has a redirect going on. check in the error pages section of your cpanel or the control panel you use and see if 404 page is not enabled or have codes in it.
Still nothing... I did some research tonight and pulled things from the Wordpress 404 page Specifically doing what it says to find the 404 page Adding the following to my .htaccess file ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 I know that you said to remove this, but I'm trying everything.
try ... ErrorDocument 404 default if it doesnt work please provide us the .htaccess file you are using so we can check what are your rewrite rules and mod them for the 404
