Use H1 for title image on homepage, but H2 everywhere else

    I’m trying to have it (mainly for SEO) that on my homepage my title image is enclosed in <h1>, while on all other pages it is <h2> – the post title will be <h1> in this case.

    I tried to do it with php, but having absolutely no php knowledge, my attempt broke my page, giving a php error.

    <div id="logo">
		<?php if (is_home()) {
		<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option( 'home' ); ?>"><img src="<?php header_image() ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" /></a></h1>;
		}
		else
		{
		<h2><a href="<?php echo get_option( 'home' ); ?>"><img src="<?php header_image() ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" /></a></h2>;
		}
		?>
		<div id="desc"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div>
		</div><!-- /logo -->

    Anyone know why it’s not working, or an alternative way I could achieve this?
    Cheers.

    Because the html tags are inside <?php ?> and needs to be echoed.

    You can do it in a single line:

    <div id="logo">
	<?php echo is_home() ? '<h1>' : '<h2>'; ?><a href="<?php echo get_option( 'home' ); ?>"><img src="<?php header_image() ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" /></a><?php echo is_home() ? '</h1>' : '</h2>'; ?>
	<div id="desc"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div>
</div><!-- /logo -->

    Hi there,
    Thanks for that, that does the job superbly, and looks pretty efficient too.

    I’d like to use that too!

    Which file should that be in?

    Even less knowledge of .php than Hoget10

    Thanks in advance.

    I found this in header.php (An obvious place to look!)
    Will deeply appreciate advice on what to modify.

    <div id=”branding” role=”banner”>
    <div id=”ttw-site-logo”></div>
    <div id=”ttw-site-logo-link” onclick=”location.href='<?php echo home_url( ‘/’ ); ?>’;” style=”cursor:pointer;”></div>
    <?php if (!ttw_getopt(‘ttw_hide_site_title’)){ /* TTW – hide site title */ ?>
    <?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? ‘h2’ : ‘div’; ?>
    <<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id=”site-title”>
    <span>
    ” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>” rel=”home”><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?>
    </span>
    </<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>
    <div id=”site-description”><?php bloginfo( ‘description’ ); ?></div>
    <?php } /* end hide site title if */ ?>

    What site are you trying to do this on?
    I’ve picked up a wee bit of knowledge running my site, so I could possibly come up with a solution.

    Were you meaning to include a link?

    I did!

    Hadn’t noticed that it did not work.

    Used the link button again, still won’t show
    so plain, sorry.

    That’s interesting, I didn’t use the link
    button but a clickable link shows.
