Can the title of a post in the blog be h1 instead of h2?

[core365]

Hi, I’m just doing a blog and have noticed the post titles are coming up as h2 tags whereas for SEO purposes they should really be h1 tags. Is there a setting where I can change this so they’re h1 tags instead of h2?

I’ll put the URL in a secure note as the blog isn’t live yet. The titles I’m referring to are in orange.

Thanks!

Hello @core365,

For SEO purposes, there should only be 1 <h1> tag in the page. As a matter of fact it is what you have right now. You have: <h1 class="h-landmark"><span>Blog</span></h1> on the page. You are not seeing it because you have hidden it away using this custom css:

.blog .x-header-landmark {
    border: 0;
    padding: 0 !important;
}

.h-landmark span {
    display: none;
}

You are supposed to be having this layout (see the secure note) where in the “Blog” is using <h1> tag while the post titles are having the <h2> tag. Again, for SEO, there should only be 1 <h1> tag on the page. If you visit each of the single posts, the post title will then be using the <h1> tag. Only in the blog index that the post titles will use <h2> tag.

Hope this explains it briefly.
