Change from H2 to H1

Topic summary

Goal: Change homepage headline text from an H2 to an H1 and keep it visually smaller. The specific text is “Keeping equestrians simultaneously safe and stylish in the saddle.”

Guidance provided:

  • Try the theme customizer first; some themes let you set the heading level there.
  • If not available, edit the theme code: in the theme menu, click the three dots next to Customize → Edit code. Look for the banner/hero section (possibly named “hero section”). Search for “hero_title” to find the relevant HTML and change

    to

    .

Caution noted:

  • The banner appears to be a carousel. If multiple slides each use

    , you could end up with multiple H1s on the homepage, which is not good for SEO (search engine optimization).

Unresolved/next steps:

  • How to make the H1’s font smaller (via CSS) was not specifically addressed in replies.
  • No confirmation that the change was completed; discussion remains open.

In your theme customizer there will be a setting for that, If not you have to edit the code and make the H2 to H1. Seems like this section is a banner carousel. if you plan to lot of banners and text then there will be lot of H1 tags and that will be not good for the SEO. Anyway, if you want to change that, then click on three dots icon next to customize and click on edit code, it will open the theme code editor, im not sure but the secition name will be “hero section” or something and edit the code to h2 to H1. search using “hero_title” this text will be bring you the correct HTML tag, (not sure its a guess)
