The H1 tag is arguably a very big part of SEO when it comes to inserting keywords into a web page so surely it makes sense to be able to choose what the tag itself says.

With the help of the custom fields however there is an easy way:

Find: (in your page.php for example)

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

And replace with:

<h1><?php $thisPost = $post -> ID; if  (get_post_meta($thisPost, changeH1, true) !=null)
{ echo (get_post_meta($thisPost, changeH1, true)); }
else { the_title(); }
?></h1>

Next open up the page where you would like the custom header and in the ‘Custom Fields’ section enter the following details:

Name: changeH1
Value: Whatever you want!

Et voilà, you can now have any H1 that you need. This is very useful for SEO reasons … Trust me!
