Seeing “Multiple h1” Alert On All Pages

    Good Afternoon,

    We were setting up Yoast on a new site build and we’ve noticed that on all pages we’re seeing the notice “H1s should only be used as your main title. Find all H1s in your text that aren’t your main title and change them to a lower heading level!”

    I’ve made sure to verify that all the pages only have a single h1.

    I thought it may have been a result of this CSS rule we have in customize:

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
    letter-spacing: 2px!important;
    }

    However, in my tests removing that global CSS doesn’t remove the notice from Yoast.

    The site is built with Beaver Builder, and I’m wondering if that’s why it’s flagging it as multiple h1’s, as the h1 isn’t technically the “start” of the body.

    Can you please take a look at the site and let me know if you can tell why it’s throwing that notice?

    Thanks so much!

    -Simon

    Hi @simonbbs

    By default, WordPress and most themes use H1 as the page title, outside of the content editor. Because of this, when the Yoast SEO plugin finds any H1 in the main content, it will warn you about having multiple H1 headings.

    We recommend manually checking the page source if the single title warning appears when using a page builder. If you don’t see multiple H1 headings (<h1>), you can ignore that particular assessment, as this would be a false positive due to how titles are added to page builders, and there shouldn’t be a need for you to worry about it too much.
