Best way to add h1 tag in homepage

Hi. I know that you have a lot of posts about this, and i have read all of them, but i didn’t found any answer yet!

I use for homepage : Homepage – with article list . I had made also a comment in themeforest and the answer from staff was this:

Only one template comes with h1 page title – http://screencast.com/t/lrtO3f9ny

The page title (H1) or subtitle (H2) can be added manually using visual composer – http://screencast.com/t/fgekI1Gb – http://screencast.com/t/Uj6edkvf

Or by modifying the template files – http://screencast.com/t/2fcHKsQyVJ34

The other elements on page like block/modules titles use h3 and h4 tags. When we built the templates we followed the best practices used by Yoast and other SEO specialists.

If you hide the title on page using css display: none or moving it outside of the visible screen area (ex. position: absolute; top: 9999px; ) Google will penalize you. Here are some discussions on the subject – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3239202/whats-the-correct-way-to-hide-the-h1-tag-and-not-be-banned-from-google

But it is not good for style to have a text as h1 visible! Any other suggestion? If i set logo with h1, also in posts i am going to have 2 h1 tags, and this is not right.

You can add H1 tag to your home page by simply adding a text box in a VC row, or in home custom sidebar.

Custom style the h1 font/size with a new class like homeh1 and apply that to the h1 tag wrapping your 20 words, which should ideally match the title tag in your home page meta data.

This applies to both the newsmag and newspaper themes — or any theme, really.

I used a text-box on the homepage and put in my h1 title and when I checked source it worked.But What I want to know how do I put on my meta data on the page can you send the code how I would do that.

To add meta data use Yoast SEO. Simplest way to do it. 🙂

I use the Existing Yoast SEO Title in plugin for the homepage and I have put the title in a h1 tag in a text box on my homage do you think that would be OK or should I take one out..

Tip for asdding meta data to your home page with YOAST …
first “read the friendly manual” (help) included with Yoast …

second, go to your “page” you have setup for your home page, and note the Yoast custom elements on the “page” for your home page. THAT is where you set all the custom elements for your home page in the meta data.

Lots of folks do miss that 🙂

Well, you might LOOK at the dates … Sept. 2014 for the links at top of this thread. This is **OLD** thread that @ptec1 restarted vs starting his/her own NEW thread.

Screen caps “expire” after awhile, especially 15 months 🙂
