Hi, I want to add an H1 tag to the Site Title rather than the Page Title. Any way to do this? I'm working locally right now so I don't have a link to post. Thanks.

Hi Pmurphy, Can I ask why you want to do this and what do you want to achieve by doing so ?

[pmurphy]

Hey Danny, I'm making a one page site using a "Page" as the home page. Because the site title appears first and most prominently, I want to give it an H1 tag. Right now, it has no heading tag.

There are plugins allowing you to use a different graphic on different pages, if this helps. I believe (could be wrong here) that the addition of the H1 tag would have to be done in a core file, not on a dynamic basis per page, unless one of my colleagues knows the way to do that with CSS. Is your site live so we could see it yet?

[pmurphy]

I don't have it live yet. I'm using a text site title rather than a header image. Any idea what the core file might be? I'm not concerned with the styling but rather the h1 tag for SEO purposes. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

It's recommended that the core files stay as they are while you use a child theme based on the parent theme. Which theme are you using?

[pmurphy]

I'm using Platform Pro. I just want to add the H1 tag to my site title, which is text (not an image). Is there any way to do this? Thanks for your help!

[catrina]

First the child theme must be activated. Do you already have PlatformBase (the child theme) installed? If not, please download, unzip, and install it on your WordPress dashboard. The download is available on your Launchpad account.

[pmurphy]

Yes, already installed.

Can you post a link to your site?

[pmurphy]

I'm working on it locally right now. It's a one page site. I am using a "page" as the home page and I want to add an H1 tag to the Site Title.

[catrina]

Is the site title located in the header where the branding and navigation is?

[pmurphy]

Yes.

I'm going to flag this for the developers to view, I'm not 100% on how to do this unfortunately. While you wait, if you manage to get your site online rather locally, it may help us, so if you do let us know.

[pmurphy]

Thanks Danny. I'll have it up in a few minutes and I will post it here. I appreciate the help!

Hey all, I put it up. It's ganttcharttemplate dot com. I want to add an H1 tag to the first line of the page, which is the site title. Thanks!

[Rob]

Is the site title showing up dynamically on the page (by default, it does not). Or, are you adding it manually?

[Rob]

I just did a test on one of my sites and the title, by default, shows up with h1 size. I simply created a test page and named it "this is a test". Then, I went to PlatformPro Settings > Blogs and Posts, scrolling down to "Page Titles" and checked the box instructing Platform to place the title on the page by default. I then viewed my test page and using Firebug for Firefox looked at the source. The default heading is h1. Feel free to see it yourself at http://www.epicurus..../this-is-a-test There was no customization needed. To make sure, I went to several different sites where I also have Platform installed with different design layouts and same thing. Every page title was h1. This begs the question... why is your site showing up h4? There must be some customization or plugin controlling it or, it's added in the page itself. This seems most likely because your title falls within the "entry_content" class which is where the actual content of the page goes.

[pmurphy]

Hi. Thanks for the test. I am aware of the PageLines setting for the page title. I can change the page title to H1 using the method you described. The trouble I am experiencing is that I would like the Site Title to be H1. This is where you have the epicurus.com logo on your test page. Any ideas?

[pmurphy]

It's a one-page website, which is why the site title needs to have an H1 tag.
