Hi There,

How do we remove the H1 heading from breadcrumbs and add actual H1 headings onto the posts? Adding H1 tags to breadcrumbs is not an SEO best practice.

Curently I did a fix using a child theme breadcrumb file. but would like a proper fix so I can inherit new features of the theme since you guys update a lot.

i also want to remove the category from the breadcrumb on the blog category pages

Hello,

h1 tag in breadcrumbs is related to page/product/post title, so not sure why this is bad for SEO. Anyway if you want to edit breadcrumbs structure and tags (xstore/templates/breadcrumbs.php) there is no way than additional customization, unfortunately.

thanks so I guess i have the correct fix.
It’s best practice to have the H1 as a heading on the age as opposed to hiding in the breadcrumb 😉

Hi “nichemarket”,

could you please share with me your described fix?
is ‘t “just” copying the breadcrumbs file to a templates folder inside your child theme and changing the line at the near bottom containing the H1 tags?

Oh this is important! I wrote a ticket earlier on the subject too.

There is now double H1 in product pages and Google hates it. (try sending a product to Google merchant center..)

I can’t go to option to show product name only in breadcrumb because customers need to see the product name – in big font.

I support warmly to change the breadcrumb to anything else than H1, lets say H2 or H3 or anything else please.
