Title: How do I manually add H2 and other H tags manually?
Post by: xniickiidx on January 21, 2016, 10:55:01 AM
Joomla! 2.5.28 and VirtueMart 2.6.18

How do I manually add H2 tags to the home page especially (virtuemart home page) as no h tags at all are showing up?

I am having difficulty locating h tags on my site and finding where to insert them myself - http://www.alanabellclothing.uk


Please can somebody point me in the right direction - thanks in advance for any help,

Nicola

h tags.. very 1990's..   ;)  - to what purpose?

template start at  components\com_virtuemart\views\virtuemart\tmpl\default.php

it displays the sublayout product.php for top 10, featured etc

You could add your "tags" and over ride them

Don't forget to copy override to ./templates/TEMPLATE-U-R-USING/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart
otherwise you will loose your changes during next update

I am trying to optimize the site for SEO purposes - and an improvement to be made according to tests shows that the website has no h2 tags, every page has a h1 and h3 tag except for the main home page so I need to add a h1 tag to the home page also.. can you point me to the right file to add tags to the home page please?


Thanks again for your help.

Do u honestly believe in 2016 Google ranks you by h tag hierarchy and tagging?

Use your time in building organic looking high value external links to specific targeted pages on your site , linked by a SEO linking text and embedded in related content..

I decent backlink will earn you more Google Juice than 50 hours of on page optimisation...  the search world moved on from search engines believing what the web master tagged their content with...

There is number of factors which builds your position in Google like backlinks, site speed, content quality, logical structure + some of experts says that even social communities. These all signals have an impact on how Google sees your website and  decide if it is useful for users or not. H tags maybe aren't a main factor however it is important to create logical and consistent website. What I would focus on at first are backlink and site speed (files compression, quick VPS or dedi, CDN and so on) then structure and high quality, unique content.

That's because you are not loading the "VirtueMart home page" on your homepage. Currently you display the featured products module only. You can select the VM 'Front page' in your homepage menu item, you should see H tags.
A nice tool to see all H tags is included in the Firefox 'Web Developer' plugin in the menu 'Information' > 'Document Outline'.

I do have the home page set to 'Virtuemart Front Page' .. I will try the web developer plugin :)
