    Hi,
    I am having some trouble with the Yoast plugin with the Enfold theme. The Yoast plugin is not picking up the H1 titled used within my sliders and as well as other words used in the copy. I searched your forum and what I could read, it seems like the Yoast plugin in not working together with your website builder. Is this correct?
    Having read that, I am wondering which SEO plugin you recommend as the best option, if Yoast isn’t working.

    Thanks!

    Yoast does work, it just reports that it can see certain things within the theme at the moment. Such as your copy score & H tags etc. As long you know your using the correct H tags where you should, it works just fine. Use the free options for http://www.onpage.org and you’ll see once your page is published everything is just fine.

    Hope you dont mind me answering your question but I’ve been following this Yoast problem for a while now. They are working on a fix and I understand its just a matter of patience on our part.

    Thanks very much Paul!
    I’ll test it on the site you provided! I have the site on my local server so can’t check it right now. Curious though, if you know, does SEO recognize H1 in a slider? I have read that sliders are in general not that great for SEO and as there might be more then 1 H1 (one for each slide), this might be confusing for the search engines. Do you agree?

    I appreciate any input!

    Thanks!

    Morning @pgh

    From my understanding of sliders and tags, its really bad practice to use them on your home page with H1 tags.

    “I think” each page should only have one H1 tag (as this is what you want google to grab as your keyword for this page) and by using a slider each word will get a separate H1 tag causing confusion as you have said.

    If you want to use a slider then I suggest H2 tags focused towards your keyword is the way. Although I have no clue if you can do that as I’ve not tried. I do how ever use the Enfold’s Headline rotator with H2 tags and google picks that up just fine on my homepage

    Good luck mate

    Hey!

    thanks guys for your input.

    Unfortunately we are no SEO experts, so it would be best to ask this in another place, for example in yoast forum. Good luck!

    Cheers!
