Hi tagDiv Support Team,
I’m having an issue where the <h1> tag around the logo isn’t being removed, even after enabling “Disable H1 on logo” in both the frontend (tagDiv Composer) and backend (Theme Panel). I’m running Newspaper version 12, updated from version 8, and working in a test environment to redesign my site. My goal is to fix a “Multiple H1” issue flagged by Screaming Frog, where the logo has an empty <h1> alongside the page title’s <h1>.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
In tagDiv Composer (Frontend):
I imported a new header from Cloud Library.
Edited the “Header Logo” block, found “Disable H1 on logo” (a checkbox), checked it (enabled it), and saved the template.
Assigned the new header to the homepage in Theme Panel > Header > Main Menu.
In Theme Panel (Backend):
Went to Theme Panel > Header > Logo.
Found “Disable H1 on logo” (another checkbox), checked it (enabled it), and saved settings.
Cache Clearing:
Cleared W3 Total Cache (“Empty All Caches”).
Cleared Chrome browser cache and tested in incognito mode.
Despite these steps, the <h1> tag remains in the source code. Here’s an example of what I see when inspecting the page in Chrome:
html
<h1><span class=”tdb-logo-img-wrap”>
</span></h1>
This empty <h1> causes a “Multiple H1” issue, as my page titles (e.g., from “Single Post Title”) also use <h1>.
What could be overriding the “Disable H1 on logo” setting? Is this a known issue after updating from version 8 to 12? Could old templates or settings from version 8 be interfering? Any help would be appreciated!
Hello,
Please check with the tagDiv Composer and disable the H1. For example, H1 from logo(header, footer, mobile, sticky) : https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/6-h1-tags-on-front-page-bing-have-deindexed-my-site/
Thank you!
Hello again,
I have quickly looked into things.
On the front page, I can still see <h1> on both of my logos.
I have disabled them in the frontend under Header logo (Disable H1 on logo) by unchecking the box. The same has been done for the logo in the footer.
I have also gone into Theme panel > Logo and Favicon > LOGO H1 ON PAGES (I have switched it off, so it is now gray instead of blue).
I have checked various subpages, and I believe the issue only affects the front page.
What can we do to move forward from here? This could potentially cause SEO problems for me.
Hi,
Can you please provide via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide the wp-admin access? I will disable the h1 from your website.
Thank you!
Hi again, Anamaria
Thank you very much. I just sent you an email, so I hope the issue can be resolved. If this is an “easy” problem to fix, perhaps you could write here in the thread how you solved it. That way, others can also learn from it in the future when they visit the forum.
Wishing you and your team a great day! 😊
I have the same problem, but I have found the solution.
If you use the sticky menu, you should also disable the H1 tag after scrolling the site until the sticky menu appears.
404 error ?
Hi,
Please check if this code is missing from your .htaccess: https://www.screencast.com/t/iN0R93dD3p from our requirements https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ this requirement is not displayed in System Status.
Also, if you have a standard template, you can disable the h1 from here https://i.imgur.com/bTEqtN9.png
