No H1 tag in wordpress, what are the implications?

[antonshakr]

When checking my blog posts I noticed that they don't contain any H1 tags. This confused me as I'd heard that wordpress automatically puts H1 tags on your blog post titles. Is this something that might negatively affect my rankings? If an H1 tag is absent, does the H2 tag take center stage so to speak? Is this something my wordpress theme does and how can I fix it?

Cheers!

Hi,

Find your single.php file in your theme folder.  THen change:

to

<h1 < span="">class="post-title entry-title"></h1 <>

plus make sure you change the closing tag to

that will be shortly after where you find that.

If you have a child theme (recommended) then you will need to find this file in the main theme, and copy it across to your child theme before changing.

NB: Make sure you back up before changing stuff!
