Hi there

Thank you for your reply:-)

Yes, it seems to be happening on every post that I have visible. It started happening recently.
I have added a few plugs & have disabled them one by one to find out which plug in might be the culprit, but I still cant work it out.

I appreciate any help

Hey again…

Let’s try this first:

Do you have the title of the post in the body of each post? From the code, it looks like you have it wrapped in an H2 tag.

Check this image out – I mocked it for you.

Does your editor view look like this? If so, remove the item I indicate on that post and see if it addresses your issue.

I betcha it will.

Let me know how it goes…I’ll be looking for your reply.

Hi there TychoMonolith

Thank you for your help.

I have checked and the title doesn’t appear a second time in the text body.

I did change some of the smaller sub headings to H2 from H5 recently (in the review articles like the CatEye Nano Shot Plus), but kept the top one H3.

The example of érrands with Emily’story doesn’t have the heading at the top like in your mock up one.

Another recent change I have made is adding the internal links to other pages on the site. Could this be the culprit?

Thanks again for your help ??

Hi there

I did find this in the Appearance Editor, could it be this?

#header h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #fff;
margin: 0;
}

#header h1 a, #header h1 a:hover{
color: #fff !important;
}

#header h2 {
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #fff;
margin: 0;
}

#header h2 a, #header h1 a:hover{
color: #fff !important;

Hmmm and if you click on the second heading of the 2 it links back to itself.. this is odd as before when it had 1 heading, it didnt do this..

Ok, I fixed it.

After reading many threads in here, this is what I did.

Firstly, I am using Hayden them.

I went into Appearance Editor,
Then I went into Single Post (single.php) on the right hand side.

Now approx one third down the page of code is the following:

‘<h2>” rel=”bookmark” ><?php the_title(); ?></h2> ‘

NOTE: This code is in between backticks be sure to remove them.

Then, remove this piece of code and save it.

This worked for me.

Stellar.

That’s the way you do it.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Happy blogging…
