Correct there are two H1 titles. One is the one I created with my custom header, and the other is “GD Archive” created by god knows what. Thanks for taking a look. I’ll reply it below shortly.
Update:
I’ve tried changing the “category title” under “archive pages” to “%%category%%” but it didn’t work, it still says “GD Archive.” I think this is because, like previously mentioned, if Yoast is enabled no changes in GD Settings>General>Titles & Meta will work. Which is why I made the suggestion of moving the GD titles out of “titles & meta” settings, and change it to just “meta,” and make a new section in the GD settings for titles, because Yoast doesn’t control page titles, it only controls meta page titles…two very different things. Hope this makes sense so it can get added to the suggestion box 🙂
For now my only option is to hide it with css, because using Yoast is a must for me. Unless someone can help with a php snippet, but I guess thats not possible…. Just seems funny having a random H1 title in there for GD archive, not optimal for SEO but also not a huge deal 🙂
Oh… it was my understanding, that with the current version, I would not be able to modify the GD titles because I have Yoast installed…thats why I mentioned it would be best to separate GD page titles, from GD Meta Page titles in the settings. Will check it out and see what happens now that I’ve backed up.
I think I understand what you mean, but thats not possible for GD categories because if you click to edit a category page, it will just bring up the “edit place category” where you can only edit the “name.” GD isn’t using the name, instead its using “GD Archive.” I’ve already visited Yoast’s search appearance settings for the meta changes, but there is not option to change the actual page title name, only the seo meta titles.
No worries though, the above css works for now.
This reply has been marked as private.Yeah Yoast only allows the seo meta title to be changed, while GD has separate fields for “Title,” and “Meta Title.” Seems weird that GD would have editing the page titles disabled when Yoast is enabled because page titles are completely different then the Meta Titles handled by Yoast. Might I suggest a change in direction with this and separate the page titles from the meta settings in GD?
I’m VERY new at PHP…would you know how I can create a filter to blank it completely? If not I guess I’ll just have to hide it with css..no choice. Thanks!
I don’t think Yoast can change the titles, only the seo meta titles, which I already have set how I want. I’m a little confused. I’ll try to have GD set the titles…hopefully it doesn’t change my meta settings. I’ll report back with what worked or not. Thanks.
Note: selecting “show in main search bar” results in an empty grey box.
I stand corrected. They are not showing on both desktop or mobile. They were previously working on desktop however so I don’t know what changed. I checked the settings and it was set to CHECK, after changing it to SELECT, they are still not showing.
🙂
I’ve tested it out and it looks like this feature isn’t much different then the widgets, I was hoping for something that just output text, and the icon alone. I’m just going to do it manually for each category ugh…oh well 😛
Thanks for the help
Sorry about that. Re-posted in the correct forum.
Ah ok! There is a bug with this though. The shortcodes builder isn’t working on Beaver Builder 🙁 The insert shortcode button doesn’t do anything.
