    Bing Webmaster Tools is throwing up an error on several page for having multiple H1 tags; both the site Title and Place Title are H1, and Bing doesn’t like that.

    Can the site Title just be themed with CSS based on its class, and leave the H1 title for the Place?

    I guess that is theme related. Most themes do not use H1 for the site title.
    What theme are you using, and some URLs?

    As long as they are not on the same section of the page, ie: page content, that shouldn’t be considered a problem and neither google or w3c validator report it as a problem.

    This because you have a h1 in the header and 1 in the page content.

    I wouldn’t really worry too much about what Bing says, I never did…

    Instead you have a plugin causing validation errors on your pages: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kjvchurches.com%2Fchurches%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

    I think Stream WordPress user activity plugin is the culprit.

    Thanks
