We all know that tags are an important part of any website. Peoples generally practice many things like backlinks, social media presence in order to improve the visibility of their website. There are many types of tags but among all heading tags like H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6 play a vital role on any website and for doing on-page SEO the heading tags are the most important tags. So don’t ever think that heading tags are just used for formatting the content because the search engines use these defined tags for indexing the structure of any page. These tags generally show the web page document structure, That’s why we generally use only one H1 tag on any page.
But sometimes when we are using more than one module with comment section on any page, then in that situation we can see that there will be more than one H1 tags on that page. In this article, we will show how to change the heading tags (H1) of the comment section.
Follow the steps given below for changing the H1 heading tags of comment section:
- Go to the Appearance section of the dashboard.
- In the Appearance sections, go to the editor.
- In the editor section, we can see the Comments.php file.
In the Comments.php file search the given code below:
|
1 |
<h1 id="comments" class="page_title"><?php comments_number( esc_html__( '0 Comments', 'Divi' ), esc_html__( '1 Comment', 'Divi' ), '% ' . esc_html__( 'Comments', 'Divi' ) ); ?></h1> |
Here we can change the <h1> tag accordingly for the comments.
Hope this post will resolve your problem for removing the h1 tags of comment plugin. Please let me for any other help.

Hi Abhishek
Not sure why Elegant Themes make comment headings as an H1, but your tips make it easy to change.
Thanks

You’re Welcome ?
Hello Abhishek,
I followed your steps and changed in the “comments.php from h1 to h3. But it hasn’t resolved it at all. It is still on H1. I don’t think that I use a child theme. What is your advise?
Hello @Torsten Kroeger,
I have checked at my end and it is working fine for me, can you please check once again.
Hello Abhishek,
Thank’s for your reply. Well, I have done this several times. What I did yesterday, is I have sent the case with attachments (screen shot of comments.php + results (seoquake.com) to your support department of elegant themes. You can see and take my request there. It hasn’t been touched from anybody yet.
I will send you a token immediately if necessary.
I just checked my change from yesterday in the comments.php (h1 into h3 tag) after I have login this morning. What happened: it changed back to h1. Anyway I changed it back to h3. Then checked it with Google inspection. It is h1 there….
What about this. It is in the comments.php further down: It was h1 and i have changed it too.

Thanks a million for posting this solution. In my Bing search console it was saying my site had serious issues due to multiple H1’s and the comments section was what was causing the problem.
