    Hi

    When I open the Yoast SEO-analysis on my pages, I see a red button (problems) which says:

    Single title: H1s should only to be used for the main title. Find all H1s in the tekst that are not the maintitle and alter them to a lower heading.

    Which is strange as it seems to me I only use it only once, as main title.

    Who can advise me on this?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @vanklar73,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We understand that you are receiving notifications about multiple H1 tags but you can’t find any. Let’s explain how it works. By default, any standard WordPress themes add the page title using the H1 heading. If you add an additional H1 heading manually on a page, there would be multiple H1 heading. As a result of that, Yoast SEO shows the multiple H1 heading warning in the content analysis.

    However, other WordPress themes don’t add the page title using the H1 heading. So, when adding an additional H1 heading manually on a page, there won’t be any multiple H1 heading. However, Yoast SEO can’t detect it since it depends on the currently active WordPress theme.

    So, the best option is to manually check the relevant page source code and look for the H1 heading. If you see multiple H1 heading on the relevant page, you’ll need to remove or edit the corresponding H1 heading that you have added manually on the relevant page.

    And if you don’t see multiple H1 heading on the relevant page, you can ignore the Yoast SEO content analysis multiple H1 heading warning.

    Thanks! I will ignore it as I only use one H1 per page.
