Hi all
I want to remove multiple meta tags from my shopify source code.
Those meta tags are facebook domain meta tags . I didn’t find those meta tags on header section of the liquid file, but I can see when I click on website source code.
Topic summary
Main issue: Multiple Facebook domain verification meta tags appear in Shopify store source code, but only one is visible/editable in theme.liquid. A duplicated/“ghost” tag prevents verifying the domain with the correct Facebook Business Manager.
What was tried: Editing theme.liquid (the main layout file) to remove tags. Only the manually added tag is found; an older verified tag still shows in page source and cannot be located in the theme files.
Impact: Re-verification with the right Facebook account fails because the domain is already verified for another Business Manager and two verification tags are present.
Context/terms: Meta tags are HTML snippets in the head used by services like Facebook for domain ownership checks. Facebook-domain-verification is the specific meta tag Facebook reads to confirm control.
Evidence: Screenshots show one tag in theme.liquid and two tags in the rendered page source.
Status: Multiple users report the same unresolved issue and request Shopify support. No confirmed cause (e.g., source of the hidden tag) or fix shared.
Open questions: Where is the extra tag injected from, and how can it be removed to complete verification?

Go to the Admin Dashboard.
Then Edit code.
Then go to the theme.liquid.
Find the meta tag and remove it.
Thank you
Hi, I also have the same issue. In the source code, it shows that there are two meta tags but on the theme.liquid there’s only one ( the one that I’ve added manually - it’s the meta tag for the correct account). Theme.Liquid does not show the meta tags that has already been verified ()
We realised that we verified the domain of the wrong facebook account. We’re now trying to verify again our domain with the right facebook account but the verification cannot go through as there are two meta tags and the domain was already verified for another business manager. How should we proceed?

I am facing the same issue and it’s driving me nuts! If you were able to solve this please let us know
Same here. We got some “old” verification tags in source code, but not in theme.liquid. Driving me crazy. Is anybody from Shopify here 
?
i have a problem too!!!
Did this get figured out? I am having the same problem. I have removed all of the facebook meta tags in the liquid file but there is one still showing up. I can see it in the source.
I have the same issue, the facebook-domain-verifictaion meta tag I placed manually into the theme.liquid code is not verified, possibly due to a “ghost” meta tag in source code of the website (how or where it is generated in the code is unknown to me), can someone from @Shopify_77 look into this.
It seems like many people are having the same problem without a solution or reason in sight.
Best Regards,
