Hi,
I am experiencing an issue with the semantic heading hierarchy on my website. This is a global problem affecting every single article on our blog.
Currently, the theme template automatically outputs the post title using an h2 tag inside the post header area across all posts:
h2 “Blue Tansy czyli olejek z wrotyczu i jego 7 głównych zastosowań
Directly below it, inside the content editor area, the actual content header renders as an h1 tag:
Wrotycz marokański – Blue Tansy – właściwości, zastosowanie i różnice……
This structure causes a critical SEO and accessibility issue on all blog pages because a secondary heading (h2) appears in the source code before the main document title (h1), and the entry title should ideally be the only h1 on the page.
Could you please guide me on how to change the theme template globally so that the entry title on all single post pages is rendered as an h1 tag instead of an h2, or how to properly disable the default theme title generation for single posts so I can manage it cleanly via the content editor?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Peter

Hello @Pites,

You may try temporarily disabling the “Show byline” option in “Theme Options → Blog → Single Post” (https://gyazo.com/ad4d2ae6555e040fceb11d0f6ed12519).
Alternatively, you can copy the “xstore/single.php” template to “child-theme/single.php” (https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-installation/child-theme/) and modify or remove the heading tags as needed (https://gyazo.com/3226fe8b1f5ad04f60e22a527df627a7).

If you require further assistance, please provide us with the correct temporary WP‑Admin access in the private content area.

Best regards, Jack Richardson

Hello @Pites,

Could you please provide temporary FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you as your current wp-admin permissions is not allowing us to edit theme’s files.

For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

Kind regards, Jack Richardson

Hello @Pites,

We have modified the “xstore/single.php” file by adding filters, which will also be included in the next theme update. Additionally, we have added a custom snippet to remove the title from your single post templates: https://gyazo.com/865d75bd5fb3e3cf97e6ab7899047d51.

You can view the frontend result here: https://gyazo.com/0026999895bf8b7e9194296bd1faa827.

Please check it now.

Looks great. So now there is only one H1 in every blog article. And “title” at the top is just a title not H1.

Hello @Pites,

You can create a static block or add custom content in “Theme Options → Blog → Blog Layout → Page Banner” (https://gyazo.com/e5511065d5a8a0dcf2b8aec0094e8b0e). In this section, you can also adjust the position of the banner on your blog page.

Hi, I found out next problem with H1. This time in product categories. The problem is also on main page of our store: https://aromatherapyoils.pl/olejki-eteryczne-sklep/, so it cannot be see correct by google….
There is a critical SEO structural issue on our WooCommerce product category and archive pages. The theme is wrapping each individual product title within the product loop (the grid layout) inside an h1 tag.
As a result, a single category page displaying 12 or 24 products ends up having 13 or 25 separate h1 tags on the exact same page (1 for the main category title + 1 for every single product on the grid).
According to Google’s Webmaster Guidelines and semantic HTML standards, a category or archive page should contain exactly one unique h1 tag that defines the primary topic of that specific page. Having multiple h1 tags completely dilutes the page’s keyword relevance, confuses search engine crawlers, and severely hurts our organic rankings due to semantic over-optimization.
Please help me ASAP

Hello @Pites,

Please check it now. You had set the product title tag to H1 in Theme Options, so we have changed it back to the default value, H2: https://gyazo.com/5ce22ecbfdaaa28ecb782922c3f1cdcd.

Hello @Pites,

The mentioned setting only modifies the titles in the product grid/carousel. The single product tag is not affected.
