Hi
I would like to know where to find the H1 and H2 headers in my “Production Dawn” theme. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Topic summary
Goal: Locate H1 and H2 (HTML heading) tags in a Shopify “Dawn” theme to improve SEO (search engine optimization).
What was tried:
- Guidance provided to identify the H1 on a product page via browser Inspect Element, then find it in theme code.
- Suggested using a Chrome extension (Shopify Theme File Search) to search theme files for classes/text found in the DOM (e.g., product__title), or directly search for “<h1”.
- Likely file for product title H1: sections/main-product.liquid. Screenshots showed finding the element and confirming by adding a test string.
Issue encountered:
- Requester couldn’t find the indicated H1 tag or matching code in their “Production Dawn” theme.
- Clarification that “Production Dawn” is likely a customized/older Dawn variant; code and selectors may differ from a fresh Dawn theme.
Current guidance/action items:
- Focus on the process: use Inspect Element on the live page to identify the exact text/classes surrounding the heading, then search those in theme files.
- Apply the same approach for other templates (page, blog, collection) and for H2s.
Status: No definitive file/tag provided for the requester’s customized theme; discussion remains open, with a recommended method to locate headings. Screenshots support the method.
Be good to know what you’re actually trying to achieve. Possible there’s a better/easier way.
But here’s how I found it:
Then used a shopify theme chrome extension:
Searched theme files for “product__title”
Likely candidate file was sections/main-product.liquid
Found by CTRL-F for that CSS class ID’d earlier “product__title” but could have also tried just CTRL-F for “<h1” or something.
Random edit to test it’s the right location - added “blah”
Saved. Refreshed live page. Blah appears.
You can use a similar process to find the HTML elements for other templates like page/blog/collection and for H2’s etc.

Not finding it anywhere. Any suggestions?
I gave a few pretty detailed steps, which one is not working?
I’ve looked at the same code that you indicate in your screenshots in. There is no such tag. The theme I’m using is a Shopify free theme. called production Dawn
Yeah I used a fresh test Dawn theme to get the example in the screenshots.
I suspect that the “production” part of the theme name is from someone who previously edited it and deployed it to production. So based of that assumption, it seems likely the current Dawn theme is diff to the older version customized version you are using.
If you follow my first step (inspect element) that will give you a clue as to what text to search for in the theme, to try and locate what you’re looking for. It’s really the process that’s important here, not the specific string being searched for.
