    In my theme, Ebentbrite Single Event, when I check with Traffic Travis, they find an error, a Seo warning for my ranking, because the title page and the h1 tag are the same by default. I mean that the theme recognize the title page first and then use it to set it in the H1 tag by default, so I have a repetition and more than one H1 tag if I want to add another one. I want to change with Css.

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

    There is a lot of confusion surrounding html standards, and I would suggest reading through this article https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/the-truth-about-multiple-h1-tags-in-the-html5-era–webdesign-16824, as with the release of HTML5, multiple h1 tags are no longer a problem as long as a HTML for the site is sectioned properly.

    That said, the two Eventbrite themes are quite old and were retired some time ago, and so not have the HTML5 sectioning structure. I would suggest considering a switch to a newer theme that is not retired since the sectioning is not something that can be corrected or added with CSS. It would require changes to the main page structures in the php script documents.

    Also, there are a lot of SEO sites out there that have not updated their software, or understand the new HTML5 standard when it comes to multiple h1 tags.

    If you want to use something within your post or page content areas on Eventbrite Single that would be the same size as h1 tags, we could create a custom CSS rule and CSS class that you could add to a standard paragraph element to get the same size and look as the h1. It would not though have the weight with the search engines as a h1 tag would.
