Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

Let me know 🙂

Hi Petar,

SEO-wise, H1 tags are important. These are also added by default by WordPress.

If you would like to turn your H1 Content Titles to H2 Content Titles, one approach is:

1. You’ll need GenerateBlocks plugin for this. Create a Block Element – Page Hero. Disable the title. Add a Headline Block. Set the Dynamic text type to title: https://share.getcloudapp.com/QwunGvW4

2. Create a Layout Element. In the Disable Elements tab, check Content Titles. Create a Hook Element. Add this code:


<?php
echo '<h2>' . get_the_title() . '</h2>';
?>

set Hook to generate_before_main.

check Execute PHP.

Set the display rules to your preference.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

can we take a step back to this:

In both situations I get an error :

if I put another H1 I’m being warned that the title is already an H1
If I don’t put a second H1 I get “Page has more than 100 links before H1 tag

Where are these warnings being reported ? Is this from an SEO Plugin ?

So when you create a Post or Page and you add the Content Title to the post, that title is output as a H1 by the Theme by default in the post entry header:

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

Which means you do not need to add one inside your post content. ie. Your first heading in your content should be a H2.

And thats how your site is and 100% correct.

But this: If I don’t put a second H1 I get “Page has more than 100 links before H1 tag I do not understand.
If you added a second H1 then that would be below the first H1 ( the one added by the theme ). So you would have 100 links before 2 x H1 tags.

As it is the most common design pattern on a website that the Site Header and Navigation is displayed before the Title and Content of the page, then that ‘warning’ would effectively mean that you should not use a mega menu with over 100 links inside it…. Personally i have never seen this flagged as an issue. It may be worth taking advice from SiteChecker.pro support on this.

If however you want to restructure your posts so you have:

Site Header
H1 Post ( or page ) Title
Navigation
Post content ( starting with H2 )

That is possible. But i would only do that if you really think its a good design for your users and not because some software flagged it….
