If so, you can even use any other h1 heading in the text / Content (start only with h2) – is this correct??

The page title for a category page is

. The page title for a single page/post is

; the post title is

. You can use whatever tags you like in the content. If you’re concerned about how that might affect your SEO there are numerous articles on the web that discuss that topic. * Thread Starter [Michaela1960](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaela1960/) * (@michaela1960) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829882) * Thank you, this is important because not more than ONE h1 heading!! * Do you know why they make differences between title of a page (h2) and title of a category (h1)?? * Thread Starter [Michaela1960](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaela1960/) * (@michaela1960) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829893) * I just spoke with a counselor: if that’s the way you write, then he would advise against this template. **The title of a page or article must always be H1,** so that the structure in this order is H1, H2, H3, etc. (large to small). * why is your page title h2 ?????? * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829906) * I’m not the theme author so I can’t answer that. There is only one H1 on the single article page; it happens to be the article title. My guess would be that, for a single article page, the author considered the article title to be more important than the page title. Others might disagree. You could make an argument either way. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829912) * There are no **musts ** in heading levels, only guidelines. Like bdbrown says, you can change this if you want. Start by creating a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme) * Thread Starter [Michaela1960](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaela1960/) * (@michaela1960) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829921) * Thank you, but In terms of SEO, it is already clear that an h1 heading should always come first. I have a Website (not a blog) with nearly 3000 pages, so I don´t want to make a risk, if I change now to wordpress. The need to create a custom child theme for this case is unfortunately too complicated – sorry, everything else would fit * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829937) * [@michaela1960](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaela1960/) – There is a preconfigured child theme available for download from within the parent theme Help or on the [theme website](http://alxmedia.se/themes/hueman/). All you have to do is install and activate it. * Thread Starter [Michaela1960](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaela1960/) * (@michaela1960) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829938) * I think I have to Change the page-title.php ? What shall I do with the child theme (there is a function.php and a custom.css) sorry, don´t know what to do with * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/h1-2/#post-5829942) * Correct. You would copy the page-title.php file from the parent theme **to the same path** (i.e. /wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/inc) in your child theme. Then open the file using Appearance > Editor. You’ll see the heading tags for the various post and page options. Make your changes there, Update, and they should be applied the next time you run your site.
