you would have to create a child theme and include the header.php file and change the header in the file.
The page title is set in page-title.php. As @mrtom414 stated you need to be running a child theme as you’ll need to modify one theme file. If you don’t have a child theme you can download one from the theme web site. Then copy /inc/page-title.php from the parent theme to the same directory in your child theme. At the top of the file you’ll find this:
<?php if ( is_home() ) : ?>
<h2><?php echo alx_blog_title(); ?></h2>
Change the <h2> tags to <h1>.
The only thing I would add is that this will give you two <h1> tags on the home page since the site title is also an <h1> tag. I’m not a SEO expert but I think best practices include having only one <h1> tag on a page.
Hello bdbrown ,
In all sites researching to improve SEO point out that the homepage does not have title H1 , so I’m thinking of making this change.
Up to you. I just thought I’d mention it.
Hi bdbrown,
Where can I find this title H1 available?
In the theme functions.php file, function alx_site_title():
if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) {
$sitename = '<h1 class="site-title">'.$link.'</h1>'."\n";
} else {
$sitename = '<p class="site-title">'.$link.'</p>'."\n";
}
