    Hi,

    I have Bing webmaster tools and used it SEO analyser on my home page to see if there where any issues. It flagged that having more than 1 <H1> titles was a major problem and said I had three. How do I reduce the others to <H2> to keep Bing happy?

    It also said that there was 3 descriptions on the page and should only have one. Can you advise how to fix that also as I have not got much in the way of SEO options with this theme.

    Thanks,

    Gareth

    This is a copy of the exact issues Bing showed for just the homepage in order of priority. A fix for all would be great.

    Thanks,

    3 There are multiple <h1> tags on the page.
    3 There are multiple descriptions on the page.
    1 The description is too long or too short.
    5 The <img> tag does not have an ALT attribute defined.
    1 The page is missing meta language information.

    Hello,

    You are not using updated theme. So please download theme from your members area and upload it.
    It will resolve ALT tag issue.
    After updating theme download "front-page.php" file attached with this post and replace it with your updated theme front page file. It will resolve multiple <h1> tag issue.

    For meta language:
    Open "header.php" and add code given below
    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="ll-cc">
    on the <head>, with 'll' is language code and 'cc' is country code.
    But i personally don't recommend you to use this code.
    Meta Language basically, gives instruction to browser that the page should only be displayed in the language as prescribed. In absence of this tag, if a visitor of other country, having different language visits the site, Google browser provides a translation of page so that the user can aptly view the details.

    For description:
    I think it's a meta description. So it's size is over to you.
    Add description according to "Bing webmaster tool".


    Thanks & Regards
    Nitesh Raghuwanshi

    HI,

    I can't find the file you mentioned above that was to be attached?

    "After updating theme download "front-page.php" file attached with this post and replace it with your updated theme front page file. It will resolve multiple <h1> tag issue."

    Also where abouts in the Header php do you put the language code you mentioned.

    Thanks,
    Gareth
