[Resolved] Changes of announcement's and widget's title.

[Maxim]

Hi, dear developer.

Your theme is pretty good =) i am happy to use it but i would like to make some little changes.
Could you explain to me how and where i can make changes for announcement’s and widget’s titles.
Now i have headings there but i want to make just divs or spans without using any headings because it is not so good for SEO.
I should use H1-H6 only for structuring of articles but not in announcment’s and widget’s titles.
Whre can i find php files (names) and what exactly do i have to change?

Thanks a lot for your support =)

Hi there,

I’m not quite sure what you are announcement you are referring to?

Can you explain a bit more?

As for widget title, this should help:

Hi =)

we have:

1. <header class-“entry-header”> (these are titles of announcments)
<h2 class=”entry-title”>…</h2>
</header>

I want to remove h2 from it and replace with div. I assume, there some php file where i have to change

2. <aside id=”archives-2> (this is widget’s titles)
<h2 class=”widget-title”>…</h2>
</aside>

Here i want to remove all h2 in widgets and replace with div for all widgets.

I think, there is some php file, and i have to make some changes.

3. <h3 class=”reply-title> (this is the button: Leave a comment)
I want to remove all h3 tags and replace with div.
I suppose there is some php file but i don’t know where and what do i have to change/

I want to use h1-h6 tags only for structurization of articles but not for mark up others things in layout

1. <h2> is very common for posts titles and I believe it’s important for SEO.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to remove that but if you still want to do it, then you’d need to use a child theme, copy the content.php file and paste in your child theme’s folder then edit this line:
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/master/content.php#L34

2. The filter I provided above should do.

3. Same thing as #1. You’d need to copy comments.php then modify this line:

Hi Leo,
I think it is not what i wanted. Maybe these screenshots help:

I want to change Heading tags for divs only for certain elements: anounncment’s tile, widget’s title and button “Leave a comment”.
These 3 elements are not content or article. H tags must not be placed there =) because these tags (h1-h6) are used only for structurization of articles but not for widget’s name (widget’s title should not be wrapped in h2). If i have the same h1 and h2 this will lead to cannibalization (because h1 in the article is the same like h2 in announcment). And i don’t need to have “Leave a Comment” wrapped in h3.

that is really defficult to explain =)) Thank a lot for your suport =)))

Hi, Leo.

I created a childtheme and then placed in it functions.php, content.php. I have made changes in these 2 files (in childtheme). All works nicely =)

But if i create and copy general.php (in childtheme) changes aren’t working from there. It seems general.php not to be seen form the childtheme. i can make changes in general.php in parenttheme directly but if themplate updates i will lose all my changes. That’s problem. How could i solve it?

Thanks a lot =)))

Hi there,

general.php isn’t a template file, so it can’t be overwritten in your child theme.

Instead, use these functions in your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'generate_start_widget_title', function() {
    return '<div class="widget-title">';
} );

add_filter( 'generate_end_widget_title', function() {
    return '</div>';
} );

Hi Tom, all works ok =). Could you explain to me what diffrence between hook and filter?
Are filters and hooks the same things?

Thangs a lot.
