Hi
In order to rank well on Google, you’re supposed to have a H1-heading containing your keyword(s). But as the Newspaper theme displays post titles in the top of every post, including a H1-heading right below looks a bit odd imo (as if I have two titles). So I was wondering if there is a way to remove the page title from the top of posts, so it will only show my H1-headings?
Or if I just don’t make any H1-headings, will Google perceive my page titles as my H1-headings?
Regards,
Søren
The post title should be your h1 title. Optimize it with your keyword. Any other heading inside the article can be h2, h3, h4 etc and you can also include your keyword. Use the Yoast SEO plugin to assist you to optimize your post for SEO (I don’t work here).
Hi Epic
Thanks for your response.
After I wrote the question, I tried going to the theme panel to change the H1 font, to see if the font of the post title would change as well. If it would, I assume it would mean, that the theme considers it to be a H1-header. However, changing the H1 font did not change the font of the post title, so I assume the theme does not consider the post title to be a H1-header.
Are you sure Google does not consider them as two separate entities as well?
Best Regards,

See this article https://themeisle.com/blog/wordpress-heading-tags/
The article says:
“Most CMS’s, including WordPress, add the H1 tag automatically to the title of a blog post. But sometimes a theme can alter this setting.”
I.e. it is not the case for all themes.
The article also suggests checking out the source code of a post to look for <h1> tags, and if I do not insert any H1-header myself, no <H1> tags appear. I assume this means, that the page title is not considered a H1-header, or it would have been surrounded by the <h1> and </h1> tags.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong 🙂
Thus, I still need to find out how to remove the page title. Is that not possible in the Newspaper theme?

There is an easy way to do it with the new single post templates from the cloud library https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/. Just import a single post template and edit with td composer. You can assign the page title an h1, h2, h3 or h4 (Where you see Title Tag (SEO) dropdown http://prntscr.com/kn3onb)
Thanks for your help. I’ll try that out 🙂
Okay. Just remember to assign the imported template to all posts through the theme panel>post settings>default post template sitewide.
