Prevent the nesting of [the homepage logo / link] under the tag

    Hi,

    My homepage navigation link which contains the logo is nested under an <h1> element and this is on the homepage alone. I was hoping to use the <h1> as part of the main content (according to its intended purpose) and prevent duplicate <h1> tags on homepage, so I need to nest the said “homepage navigation link” under an <img> tag instead.

    I choose <img> because it’s an image of the logo and because the rest of the website pages are nesting it under <img>. Strangely enough, this link is nested under the <h1> only on the homepage, so my guess is that it might be theme-related.

    Any input on how I could make this change would be very much appreciated.

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

  • A logo never belongs in an h1. This element may only be used once per HTML document and should contain important keywords relating to the topic of the page. A logo is highly unsuitable for this.

    However, using it as an img is correct.

    However, you would have to ask the support of your theme why the h1 is there. This would have to be removed so that your logo is there on its own. Unfortunately, it is not clear which theme you are using, which is why I cannot tell you where to go.

    Hi @threadi

    Thanks for your reply and yes, an <h1> is exactly what you say it is and has no business wrapping up the logo / homepage link. I’m using the “Typology WordPress Theme” by Meks and it is not part of the original WordPress themes marketplace.

    I would reach out to theme dev support, but after having extended the theme support in the past I have not found it particularly useful and prefer not to continue extending the support for this issue alone.
