[Support request] Use h1-tags on sites but make them invisible

[one-breath-away]

Hi,
under the menu there are two header elements used: Home Header and Global Header which only differentiate in font size of name and slogan. They’re incorporated as h2 and h3. There are no h1 header right now, and I want to use the menu-names as h1.

How do I add the h1 header for, e.g. “MBSR online course”, without showing the h1 within the current website flow, as you can probably see that I don’t need the MBSR online course h1 to show up right now.

Thanks for your help!
Warm wishes
Chris

Hi there,

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

You can use the private information field:

Let me know 🙂

Of course,

Short notice from my side – I was under the impression that the content-title equals the h1. Because I have disabled the content-title in the disable-element section of every site.

Hi there,

I would not recommend hiding H1 tags, as Google doesn’t like hidden text, you might get negative impact on search ranking.

Let us know what you think 🙂

Yes I know and I totally agree, but I thought that the content-title of the page (e.g., about, connect, etc.) is an h1-tag? Isn’t it?

I noticed that you have SEO plugin installed which inserts a <title> tag in the head area in each page.

I think SEO wise that’s clear enough for Google.

But why not change the H2 to H1?

[one-breath-away]

I tried and it works fine for almost every site. But sometimes it doesn’t center the h1-text in the middle, although I have set it in the editor.
In the following site it always show me the h1 as left-centered text.

I did the same for all pages, just for this one it doesn’t work. Could you please help me out as well?

Thank you,

Hi there,

Edit that page, select the H1 Headline Block and in the Blocks toolbar there is alignment options – set the to Align Center

[one-breath-away]

That’s exactly what I did – but just on this page it doesn’t work. It also doesn’t take over my settings for the font weight. I purged the cache, tried on different browsers and devices, but for this page it stays that way.

[David]

Can you delete that Headline Block.
And then add a new Headline Block and recreate the H1 ?

[one-breath-away]

Tried already, but doesn’t work as well. Initially I changed the text-transform setting for h1 via the customise settings – primarily to globally change text-transform from uppercase to normal and so I don’t have to do this manually for each page-h1 in the editor.

Adapting font weight and text-alignment for h1 works for all sites but this specific one via the editor. Is there a possibility to set up text-alignment for h1 for the whole website?

Right now, when I click on the customise-button, I do see the h1 centered – as soon as I change back to the normal view, it is aligned left once again.

[David]

You can add this CSS:

h1 {
    text-align: center;
}

After checking the titles now, it just starts to show all headlines centred.

Thank you all for your support!
Chris

Glad to hear that!
