Bug Title ...Duplicate <h1 Tags for every page

[XpertPlumbing]

Describe the bug:

Our website is experiencing duplicate h1 tags on every page. We have troubleshot the Theme and each plugin and have discovered that the "Elementor Header & Footer Builder" plugin seems to be the source of the issue. When the plugin is deactivated and the site is crawled, the h1 tags show up correctly. When the plugin is activated all of the h1 tags for every page show up as our phone number. All of the plugins were deactivated and reactivated one at a time and the problem only occures when the Elementor Header & Footer plugin is activated. When the Elementor Header & Footer plugin is disabled and I crawl the site, all of the h1 tags are showing up as they should. It is only when this plugin is activated that all of the h1 tags show up as our phone number for every page. We went ahead and tested all of the other plugins while leaving EHFB activated to see if there was a conflict between plugins and there was no change, "there doesent seem to be a conflict between plugins". This is only happening when the Elementor Header & Footer plugin is activated. We are using Wordpress Version 6.6.1, Elementor Version 3.23.4, and Elementor Footer & Header Version 1.6.41

To reproduce:

Using a crawler to crawl our page and the h1 results reveal the error.

Expected behavior:

For SEO purposes there should only be one h1 tag per page and they should be significant to the page.

Screenshots:

Isolating the problem:

• This bug happens with no other plugins activated "Yes this is happening only when this plugin is activated"
• [ ]
• This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active "Yes"
• I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above "Yes"

WordPress version:

Wordpress Version 6.6.1

Elementor version:

Elementor Version 3.23.4, and Elementor Footer & Header Version 1.6.41

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?

Hello @XpertPlumbing ,

This issue could be related to the header template in Elementor Header & Footer Builder or theme compatibility. Please check the following:

Template Review: Ensure your header template contains only one H1 tag, and verify if your phone number is added to a heading widget or through dynamic content unintentionally.

Theme Compatibility: Some themes may already output an H1 tag in the header. Try switching to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the issue persists.

SEO Plugins: If you're using an SEO plugin, check if it’s overriding the header tags or causing conflicts.

If the issue continues, feel free to provide more details by opening a support ticker here and we’ll assist further.
