SEO h1 Titles And WordPress
Does anyone have experience dealing with WordPress and title tags? I’m working with an existing site that has a theme with all of the blog title tags set to H4, but for SEO purposes the need to be changed to H1. There doesn’t seem to be a simple way to do this. I can switch to text mode to change html within the blogs, but I don’t see an option to edit the backend code for the title itself. So I’m thinking the theme itself needs to be customized, but I’m not sure where in the code to do that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Wordpress used to have a tool under appearance > editor to edit the theme files, but I don’t see it anymore, perhaps it’s removed in newer versions.
That leaves you with the file editor Cpanel or Plex usually bring over text files or editing the file via an FTP program.
You need to look at the .PHP files in your theme, under /wp-content/themes/(name-of-your-theme)/ and edit those H4 into H1 or whatever it is that you want.
Also, a word of advice, before you start pawing the theme original files, consider creating a child-theme based on your current theme that correctly contains just your modifications, so when the theme is updated, your changes won’t disappear.
We all had to learn about child themes the hard way.

Look for a file called post.php
