Double H-Tags in Source Code after Udpdating Text Formats to H1, H2 and H3
-
Following… all my H1,2,3s are Default now in the Frontend. Backend shows the original size…
@mariusjopen @Armin-Unruh please respond to this, as this happened after the lates update…

hey!
Ok I just tested different things and I'm not sure if I understand the bug correctly.
@rocked23 on your website I don't see doubled headlines
that the content, which has H1 and H3 is now doubled on the site.
Did it look like this?
<h1>my headline</h1><h1>my headline</h1>
?Maybe the seo tool has looked through the desktop version markup and custom phone layout markup. Both co-exist on a page that has a custom phone layout.
If you could recreate that bug and let me know exactly how you recreated this, that would be helpful. And a page where the bug exists would be helpful.
@Marvic please post a link and screenshot of where you experience the problem
I tried out changing textformats to h1, h2, h3 and changing a paragraph format to a headline format and none of these steps produced any bugs for me.
Please note once you have changed a format to h2, h3, h4 or changed a format type, you need to re-apply that textformat to the pre-exisiting text that uses that format in the gridder. This way the pre-existing texts that already used that format will change to h2, h3, h4 or to a different type.

Dear @arminunruh ,
thanks for your message.
First, i changed the text formats from p to H1 etc. and then, I changed this again on each site in the gridder to be sure, that these text-format changes have been also affected there.
The double/duplicate content is not visible on the site itself but in the source code. That leads to the »duplicate H1, H2 content« error message in the SEO-Tool’s check (because it thinks, this content is »visible« twice).
The site is www.matteroffact.de – if you take a look at the source code, you’ll find the H1 example twice:
<h1 class="_verybig">Wir pressen <br />dein Vinyl!</h1>
... in line 1891 and then again in line 1941
Or on this site as well the H2: https://matteroffact.de/vinyl_produktion
<h2 class="_verybig">Wir produzieren deine Vision!</h2>
... first in source code line 1910 and second in line 1974
Or the H3:
<h3 class="_Zwischenhead">Vinyl in höchster Qualität!</h3>
twice in line 1903 and line 1967.
Thanks again for your help!
Greetings from Cologne

Yes that headline exists twice in your markup because you use a custom phone layout.
As I wrote:

Dear @arminunruh,
ah, good to know and sorry – I didn’t really get it, when reading it the first time. So now, I know, what the problem is.
Will do some research, what SEO-wise could be an option for solving this.
Thanks and greetings

@rocked23 and @arminunruh Could you explain to me how to change my textformats to h2, h3, h4 etc.? I still don't see the option to choose something different than Headline or Paragraph in my Text Formats?
-
Dear @s-janssenMD
If you choose 'Headline' in the settings of the Text it will then show you the H1, H2 etc options :)
Best

Hey @Richard ,
I have the same problem as s-janssenMD had and I see that you provided a screenshot where the Headline options show up.However for me they don't show up when I'm in the text formats and I also can't find it when I've typed text (and then wanted to set it as h1)
Should I be looking somewhere else for this?
Here is a screenshot of how this looks for me:
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
