Front page and articles title error

Hello, Google seems to have some problems getting titles for my content properly. The message marked with italics is shown in the News Section of the webmaster Tools for the front page of my blog, but https://majestic.com/reports/site-explorer?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idevice.ro%2F&oq=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idevice.ro%2F&IndexDataSource=F has the same issue finding it.
Your page is not eligible to appear in Google News because the title is invalid or could not be found.

Although Google says it’s marked ok, looking at Google Analytics I get lots of pages with errors stating the (not set) tag for titles.

Is there any way to fix this? The issue is long standing, even since I installed the theme a few months ago. I am using All in One SEO with the blog,

I don’t use the visual composer, so please tell me how to add the title as h1 in code. And since we’re on this subject, tell me how to add the article titles on the front page with the h2 tag. From a SEO perspective, it’s a big miss to not have these with h1 and h2 tags.

And as a side note, I’ve added hyperlinks to my article’s titles, but the breadcrumbs titles are also hyperlinked as a result.
This is the code i’m using : <p>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?><?php echo $td_mod_single->get_title();?></p>

Is there any way to have the breadcrumbs page title unhyperlinked? Deactivating the SHOW ARTICLE TITLE option in the theme settings panel has absolutely no effect.
Thanks.

Thanks so much for your response. Solving the H2 problem worked, but I can’t figure out hot o solve the H1 problem.
<h1><div class=”td-pb-span8 td-main-content”>
<div class=”td-ss-main-content”>
<div class=”td-page-header td-pb-padding-side”>
<?php echo td_page_generator::get_home_breadcrumbs(); ?>
</div></h1>
I used that code, but it has no effect on actually adding H1 to the title, so if you could please tell me how to do it, i’d really apreciate it.
Regarding the breadcrumbs title, i want to hide it completely from the page.

I think you misunderstood me. I just want to make the site title H1(the blog title is hidden and shown just in the source code), just that, as it is not. I don’t want to add a Latest articles line to my front page. I also don’t want to create a static front page, as this creates other issues with plugins I use.

No point in having an H1 tag on home page unless it’s a static constant element such as “Micro Gaming News for the Tech Trade” — as Google doesn’t like “changing” H1 tags on static pages like a home page — a news headline should not have H1 tags on home page as those change hourly, daily, etc., and so have no relevance in SERPS.

So, you would need to edit the page template you’re using for home page or “page” template and add an “is_home” statement to put the desired H1 tag only on home page. Simple to do with Visual Composer, or if making a static page with loop.

eg
something like

<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
    // This is the home page index
    <h1>My Text Here</h1>
} else {
    // This is not the home PAGe index
    then get the normal page header
}
?>

just a thought. That likely not best solution, so pardon my butting in ….

Again, it seems I’m misunderstood. I want to H1 THE SITE NAME/BLOG TITLE, not any other article title or something like that. Article titles are H2, but the blog title is… nothing, not even H3.

So you tried adding your site title for home page, to the index.php template already?

I actually figured it out, added H1 from the header. Thanks for your help.
Now could anyone please tell me how to change the excerpt word/letter count to show more content on the front page for each listed article ?
Thank you!
