  My site has two <title> tags. and also has two <h1> tags, which is causing it to not appear in Bing Search Results even after following all the Bing SEO procedures, as tghese are ‘High Severity’ Violations

  It appears the Header violation is from the menu, here are the two conflicts:

  <h1 class=’site-title’></h1>
  <h1 class=’menu-toggle’><span class=’screen-reader-text’>Menu</span></h1>

  And it appears the Title violation is from a blank Title, and your perhaps your footer?:

  <title></title>
  <title id=’title’>Create a website or blog at WordPress.com</title>

  It also says my page title is too long or too short, But your site doesnt tell me how many characters it should be.

  When I search my site on Bing, nothing appears at all, even when searching the exact address

  It’s been like that for over 2 months. Can you please help?

  The title is too short or too long.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Bing actually says keep the site title between 5-100 characters, it’s at 15 characters, but still throws the “High Severity”error

  High Severity Issue #1:
  There are multiple <h1> tags on the page.

  Recommended Action:
  Remove redundant <h1> tags from the page source, so that only one <h1> tag exists.

  ——————
  High Severity Issue #2:

  The page contains multiple titles.

  Recommended Action:
  Remove redundant <title> tags from the page source, so that only one <title> tag exists.

  SEO Explanation:
  As a rule, you should only have a single <title> per page on your website.

  High Severity Issue #3:

  The title is too short or too long.

  Recommended Action:
  Change the length of the title to be between 5 and 100 characters

  SEO Explanation:
  If the title is too short, it may not provide us and users with enough information to understand the relevancy of your page. If the title is too long, we may need to shorten it in the search results and your keywords may not appear on the search results page. You should try to keep the length of the title somewhere between at least 5 characters and 100 characters.

  There are also “! Redirects detected for the current URL”, when using http:// rather than https://

  Nothing in the description says that the site needs to be entered as https, instead of the defaulted http, when adding sitemaps and webages to the various Search Engine’s Admin page
