h1 and h2 tags

    Hi Anders,

    I’m trying to appease the google overlords with appropriate SEO tactics, and I’m having a hard time.

    What portion of the index page does Tove naturally treat as the h1 and h2 tags? and how can I customize this? I tried making the post titles these, but SEO didn’t appreciate either, because it led me to having 21 of them on the index page, respectively. On the individual post pages, this isn’t as big of a problem, since there’s only one natural header, but I’m not sure if I should set this as h1 or h2, since I’ve read elsewhere that it’s bad practice to set the post heading as h1, and that instead the theme should wrap the page title and logo in an h1 tag instead. How do I force Tove to do this, if it doesn’t already? And if it does, why is it not happening on my site?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @hblecher,

    Tove doesn’t specify heading levels for the site title/post title blocks, so the headings that are output for those blocks are the defaults in the Site Editor. You can modify the heading levels used by going to Appearance → Editor (provided you’re running the latest version of Gutenberg) where you edit the respective templates and the heading blocks in those templates.

    Hi @anlino — Ok thank you. But I’m still wondering if there’s anything I can do to have the site logo wrapped in an H1 heading. The block editor doesn’t give me the option to do so. If not, no worries, I’ll find a workaround, but from what I’ve read, doing so is a useful solution when there is no obvious other choice to use as the page’s H1 tag.

    Thanks again.
