Change Site Title and Description html tags if not home page

2 Views

For the purpose of good HTML structure, accessibility and SEO I’d like to change the site’s title and description from H1 and H2 to P when appearing on any page other than the homepage. A conditional statement logic would be something like; when not homepage change site title and description to Site Title and Description

. Thanks!

  1. <?php if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { $header_tag = 'h1'; }
    else { $header_tag = 'h2'; } ?>

<<?php echo $header_tag;?>><?php the_title();?></<?php echo $header_tag; ?>>

    Expanding on what Stephen Harris said, here is a useable example. Lots of different ways to use same code function.

  2. There are two conditionals, depending on your setup:

    • is_home() – checks if the main page is being displayed
    • is_front_page() – returns TRUE when the main blog page is being displayed and the Settings->Reading->Front page displays is set to “Your latest posts”, or when is set to “A static page” and the “Front Page” value is the current Page being displayed.
