Today I saw this in Google Search Console:



enter image description here



This clearly says the Google Analytics verification failed. But we have all the info, charts, real online users, etc... in the Google Analytics panel. So what might be the cause of that error?



Also, we've added Google Analytics inside Google Tag manager and put that script inside the head of our website:



enter image description here



Any idea of what might be the source of this error?

          Yes, it failed verification as a means of verifying site ownership in Google Search Console.
          This does not mean the GA tracking is not installed and working, just that the current method of installation, cant be used to verify site ownership.



          If GA is setup via tags in GTM, then GA cannot be used for verification. it needs to be the GA tracking code snippet installed in the site between the <head></head> tags.



          You can use GTM container to verify Google Search Console site ownership instead.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
