Site tagline is shown as h1

My site tagline is showing as an h1 title. How can I make this h2 as all my posts and pages are h1 titles so I now have 2 which is not good for SEO

Hello toni,

Please open file layouts/header.php in the theme directory and please change the following fragment:

Code: Select all

<?php if(get_option($tpl->name . "_branding_logo_type", 'css') != 'none') : ?>
<h1>
   <a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" class="<?php echo get_option($tpl->name . "_branding_logo_type", 'css'); ?>Logo"><?php gk_blog_logo(); ?></a>
</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

to:

Code: Select all

<?php if(get_option($tpl->name . "_branding_logo_type", 'css') != 'none') : ?>
   <a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" class="<?php echo get_option($tpl->name . "_branding_logo_type", 'css'); ?>Logo"><?php gk_blog_logo(); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

By the way - as I know in HTML5 more than one H1 tags are allowed, and it isn't so big problem as earlier in XHTML/HTML4 era

Thank you Dziudek

Just after I posted to you I also found a post also saying that in HTML5 it is possible to have 2 H1 tags! What I don't understand is how a web code would make a difference as 2 x H1 tags is still 2 x H1 tags I went with your fix which works perfectly however by changing the header.php the only problem now is that my static home page has no H1 tag.

I think that you should replace the h2 tag with h1 tag in the text widget on the header widget area

Hi DZIUDEK

I edited the header.php back as it was for now which would give me 2 x h1 tags. The more I read about HTML5 the more it appears to be o.k. having 2 x h1 tags! I'll keep an eye on my SEO page rank. When you replied with 'replace the h2 tag with h1 tag in the text widget on the header widget' I assume this was to enable the h1 tag on the home page?

Yes, in this case you can remove h1 tag in the logo and achieve the h1 tag in the page header.

Thank you. Please mark as SOLVED

I solved this too soon. When I added the change to my header.php it now shows the date, written by etc. as H1 titla tags

It seems that you have modified wrongly the header block - I see two times the opening H2 tag and there is no closing h2 tag.
