Need help removing H1 tags on wordpress site

by shootingtime
3 replies
I have just enrolled in Bing webmaster tools and found that my website, Archery Tips and Bowhunting Tips | Shootingtime.com has multiple H1 tags which is considered a no no by many. How can I resolve this? I have a child theme and have investigated with chrome's developer tool but can't figure this out. Any advice would be appreciated!

Occurrences:

<h1 class="site-title">Shootingtime.com</h1>

<h1 class="menu-toggle">Menu</h1>

<h1 class="entry-title">Archery Tips and Bowhunting Tips</h1>

<h1>Welcome to the Archery Tips Portal</h1>

<h1 class="widget-title">Manufacturer Info and Specs</h1>

<h1 class="widget-title">Helpful Websites and Forums</h1>

Thanks for the help guys!!

    You should check the files of your theme and remove all h1 tags. Specially index.php and single.php. If you can attach them, I will help you. However, you have to specify another tag. Or leave them as normal text (with p tag).

    Don't be in such a hurry. The h1 tags on your site are fine as they follow the HTML5 hierarchy conventions.

    You of course can change them, but you may be opening a bigger can of worms than you bargain for - for instance, the h1 tags in the sidebar need to be changed in the section of the theme that sets up the sidebar definitions. Not just a simple find/replace.

      check your main theme's function files probably under includes (not child theme). sound like when you generate your menu or widget html it is doing so with <h1> tags.
