In reply to: H 1 Problem-Thanks again!
This has all been very helpful. I just installed a plug-in, Child Theme Configurator, and it will let me select the files “header.php” and whatever else I want to save, with the changes I have previously made, into the new child theme.
So if this plugin works, it will be fantastic, because it certainly has been easy! Fingers crossed…. 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Child Theme Configurator] feature suggestion: copy template into child themeI have just activated the newest version of Child Theme Configurator and watched two videos.
Just to make sure —- when I go to the files menu, I want to click on the files that I have already made previous changes to, so by getting those put into this child theme plugin, my changes will be saved?
Most of my changes have been made in header.php. All changes were made because of technical glitches.
As a Newbie, I understand that all these changes should have been made in a child theme before. I am playing catch-up. There is also yet another problem that I need to fix.
I will put that file in the child theme, then edit it from there.
If this works, them what a great plugin! Us Newbs get befuddled easily and the whole “child theme” is very intimidating.
Thanks!

In reply to: H 1 Problem-Well, I took this thread and my laptop to a guy who fixed the problem! Yipee! I think I have a google-viable website, at least a major improvement from before. Thank you!
I will be checking out your link to the child theme info. The changes were made in my parent, so I will save this thread.
I am having other issues as well, that I have seen others
have—“missing:author” and “missing:update”, in Structured Data in Webmaster Tools. I have seen ways for to fix this, but I won’t do it until I get my child theme set up.
I also up UpDraft plug-in for back-up. It works! But if my theme gets an update, then if I have to restore my site/data at some future time, does that mess up the theme update?
Just curious. Not important, like having a functional website…:-)Thanks again! I owe you a beer!

In reply to: H 1 Problem-Yes, I do need to create a child theme. I have been avoiding that, but I see why I should. I recently messed up my site, and was able to restore it with a back-up, but I did not know that upgrades can make me lose my changes (I assume you mean my html changes).
On the issue of changing the code you provided, I get where I should do this, but I do not understand “change it to whatever other tag you want”. I just don’t want to have two H1 headers, only the page title as H1.
On the issue of my site title not being visible, no it’s not intentional. I have gone into “appearance”-“customize”- “site title &tag line”, entered the text, and it doesn’t show. I have put the site title and tag line in the top of my homepage content to compensate.
If you can help me with those specifics, I will probably find someone to fix this for me. I will show them the info you have provided and make sure it gets done correctly.
Thank you again! I very much appreciate your help!

In reply to: H 1 Problem-Thank you SO much for replying. This is an SEO problem. Having 2 H1 on a page is not optimal. Some say it is a ding to my google rank.
This is what I see, using SEOquake, but this is seen on others as well.

I need to get rid of that <H1>: Plexus Change Your Life.
Maybe somewhere in my php.headers html?
I hope this makes sense?
