for comments section, share section, author section in posts

  • hi Guys!
    I’ve been trying to solve the following issue:
    in my posts the comments section, share section and author section are marked with h3.

    at the end of each post I have Related post section, where the headings are h4. afterwards are coming author section, share section and comments section with h3.

    I am using avada premium theme. I talked to the developers about that. and received the following answer:

    I do see where you are coming from here, but the original bug/issue that also did stem from how WordPress handles the comments section markup and not the theme, has been resolved. Now saying that, with regard to SEO, the markup as you see it will not have a negative impact.

    I discussed your ticket here with our senior developers and they consider the share section more or less as part of the entry, and author, related etc. are their own sections, so use h3. One thing to also note is that the Yoast SEO plugin uses h3 for this as well.

    ————————————————-
    I still feel that if there is h4 and then comes h3 – that’s not good. Can you suggest anything how to solve that?

  • What exactly is the problem? As an SEO I can confirm this is a non-issue from an SEO perspective if I understand what you are saying.

    Hi Colin!

    thanks for your response!

    It seems to me it doesn’t look good when I have <h4> and then comes <h3>

    at the end of my post there is a section “Related posts”, these posts come with <h4> tags (built-in in my premium theme), but afterwards come author and comment sections <h3>, that’s the reason I guess it is not right.

    plz have a look at the screenshot https://prntscr.com/7z7olq

    Hi,

    I would say this is fine… from SEO perspective there is no rule in regards to order of H tags. You could have a H2, followed by H1, followed by five H6s, followed by a couple of H2s… there are no rules, and if there are 99% of the web don’t do a very good job following them.

    Just concentrate on creating quality content and Google will be more than happy.

    If you did want to edit the theme, adjust the H tags to your preference, go for it. But it certainly isn’t a bug.

    Thanks
    Colin
