Multiple H1 tags

  • I have just audited this site and 22 posts have been flagged as having multiple H1 tags.

    This is what the audit shows

    Headings
    h1?Tuesday morning Qigong classes
    h1?Insert/edit link
    h2?Table of Contents

    The source code has the expected heading
    <h1 class=”entry-title”>Tuesday morning Qigong classes</h1>

    but it also has
    <input type=”hidden” id=”_ajax_linking_nonce” name=”_ajax_linking_nonce” value=”3b13d3395f” /> <h1 id=”link-modal-title”>Insert/edit link</h1> (this is on line 2860)

    How do I get rid of the second h1 tag as it is screwing up the SEO?

    Thanks,

    Des

    Hello,

    Has anyone picked up this yet?

    Dear @deslaw
    If you don’t want the H1 tag on every page, then you need to modify the Tutor Strater theme. The input field may be coming from any others plugins.

    Have a good day.

    Hello Rashed,

    You have obviously not understood the problem. The theme is generating an empty H1 tag that the user has no control over. This means that when I do add an H1 tag to a post/page there are two H1 tags being seen by Googelbot, etc. and this is detrimental to the SEO of the website.

    As it stands there is the options are for one H1 tag that is empty (apparently, out of my control) or two H1 tags (one of which is empty). Both options are unsatisfactory for good SEO.

    Can you either explain how we access/input the auto-generated H1 tag? Alternatively, can you explain how we disable it?

    In summary: I want an H1 tag available on all pages……………. I don’t want multiple H1 tags.

    I hope that this explains the issue more clearly.

    Kind regards,

    Des

    Dear @deslaw

    You can edit those files to remove h1 tags
    wp-content\themes\tutorstarter\views\content-page.php
    wp-content\themes\tutorstarter\views\content.php

    Thank you for that. I will have a look but I’m not overly confident about doing it.

    Can you tell me why the H1 tag is included there when it, apparently, does not allow the user to actually input text? Surely the developers should be addressing the issue by either facilitating the input of text into that H1 tag (the one generated by your code) or by removing it altogether.

    Anyway, I’ll give it a try.

    Kind regards,

    Des
