Hi,
every post I write, the title is automatically given the H1 tag. SEO audit software like semrush/screaming frog is showing this as an SEO warning as the title and H1 are duplicated. As an example, a post with the title ‘ExampleTitle’ has these two pieces of code.
<head>
<title>ExampleTitle</title>
…
…
…
<header class=”td-post-title”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”>ExampleTitle</h1>
This is, I’m told, not good for SEO but it seems to be hard coded where the title is immediately given a H1 tag. Is this a theme coding? How do I switch it off?
Hello nomoretechno,
If you want to change the H1 for your post titles, you should edit the get_title() functions from our theme and add there the right heading you like. As a hint, notice that you should edit the td_module_single_base.php and make the following change, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/9RXiLRJAp
Thanks for your understanding!
great thanks
H1 is added to Title tags usually. If the audit software are giving warning, i guess you should ignore them. Just try not to use h1 heading in page.
The title tag on the above is purely for users, however, the one set by Yoast is for SEO. Try to use both of them abit different. Title for attracting visitors and Yoast SEO title for search engines.
Apart from that, try to use small H2 headings in page, they will be appearing as sitelinks for the article. I have been practicing the same and have got sitelinks and some super rich snippets for my articles recently. For the check, you can try searching “mbbs books” or “Window reflex”. You will find the sitelinks actually appear below the post in search results.
