      I have a Wordpress website which is just using the Default theme, when I post in the blog, whatever I put in the "Title" field at the top of the editor is automatically is placed within the body of the blog post, like a headline, but it doesn't include any H1 tags that I can see. If I add my own headline within in the blog editor, it still inserts the Title like a headline. I am using the Yoast SEO Plugin and also write the meta title there, should I just leave the Wordpress title field blank so it doesn't insert into the blog post? Or is that inserted Title being recognized as an H1 even though I don't see h1 tags anywhere? Hope this isn't too confusing.

        Hi,

        I use all the above mentioned tools. The H1 tag is there but you will find it further down. If you view page source and look for the mentions of the title it will show up. You actually have to look out: I used to use the page title again at the top of the page and this leads to double H1 tags.

        Good luck! Tymen

          • Pagination and View All Pages Question. We currently don't have a canonical tag pointing to View all as I don't believe it's a good user experience so how best we deal with this.

          • Should the Title Tag and the H1 Tag not be the same or not anymore and can that be classed as over optimization?
