Switching single post title h1 with h2

[[email protected]]

Hi All,

Due to color formatting in a design I'm constructing, I need the post title of single posts to display as <h2> instead of <h1>

I'm close, with this added to functions.php -

add_action('genesis_post_title', 'h2_title');
function h2_title() {
if ( is_single ( ) ) {
remove_action('genesis_post_title', 'genesis_do_post_title');
the_title( '<h2>', '</h2>');
}
}

BUT it's still displaying the original <h1> title in addition to the <h2> title.

Any help appreciated!

Rather than removing the title, you can filter it. Check this out, you'll be able to adapt it to what you're doing.

Still, from an SEO perspective, generally you want that nice juicy H1 tag. Rather than doing the above, I would just style the H1 tag to be like your H2 tag. Cleaner. I have one client who has me playing with title styling constantly. The only tricky thing is to make sure the different types of titles are kept straight, which requires some CSS skills.

That did the trick!  thank you!

For anyone referring back to this post, here's how I tweaked it:

 
/** make single post titles H2 instead of H1 **/

add_filter( 'genesis_post_title_output', 'ac_post_title_output', 15 );
function ac_post_title_output( $title ) {
if ( is_single () )
$title = sprintf( '<h2 class="entry-title"><span>%s</span></h2>', apply_filters( 'genesis_post_title_text', get_the_title() ) );
return $title;
}
