    For some reason, my site title on home page is showing in <title> tags.
    It is enclosed in-between Yoast plugin setting, when I view source.
    I see that other posts are also having <title> in place of <h1>
    I would like to make it <h1> tag as required by Bing WMT.

    I think <h1> was the default nature. But I feel I might have changed some time long back.
    Dont remember where I did it?
    Can you help ?

    Hi there,

    The Single Post URL you provided – see here:

    https://www.screencast.com/t/OL1whk0a

    The post title is a H1.

    Your home page has no H1 on the page because:

    a) Its set to display the Latest Posts
    b) the Site Title is not displayed in the Header.

    Yes- thats correct. All pages have a <title> tag that will show the current page/post title by default.

    Can’t I make it to <h1>?

    Ok. I got it. Yoast SEO is putting the titles in <title> tag. But your theme puts it in <h1> tag for posts.
    But for homepage, I need to enable site title to see the <h1> tag. Right?

    Correct … OR .. you can add a H1 to the Home page without a Site Title using a Block Element:
