Getting my SEO assessed professionally and I got a list back of errors and some are coming from my Easyblog. So I would like help correcting them.

First one is missing H1 on the dashboard, tag, search, users and some other non-article pages. Is there a way to add a H1 to these pages.

Second mistake is duplicate content and with duplicate Title and H1 errors for SEO. The same article is listed under "/blog/article" and a copy is "/blog/entry/article" and a third is "blog/entry/article?tmpl=component&print=1".
Hello

I find very weird there is no official fix for this SEO issue. At least could someone give the lines to add in the right files so that there is a H1 in dashboard, tag, search, users and some other non-entry pages ??

thanks

Hello Cyril,

Sorry for the late reply. You can provide us your backend and FTP so we can modified the files for you. And you may want also provide us the URL to which page you want to be modified.

Hey guys,

Indeed i see print pages have noindex, nofollow tag, but they also have a wrong canonical tag set, which is bad and it may cause confusion on search engines, that should be sorted and in canonical tag url it should put article url and not print url

Hello Cyril,

Sure, but can you list down the page non-SEF URL here so that I can give you the exact files.

Hi Barbu,

Thanks for the heads up. We will take a look at it.

Hello,

I'm sorry, did you mean this title: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0010.png ? If so, you can go to this file: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/default/toolbar.php

Not really because we don't want all the tag/bloggers/blog list pages share the same H1 !!

for the blog list, it's true we don't see any other possibility than using a common H1 tag as you wrote.
For the tag list (http://www.pulsar-informatique.com/actus-blog/tags/tag/joomla for example) we could use the tag itself of H1
For the blogger page (http://www.pulsar-informatique.com/actus-blog/blogger/listings/cyril) we could use name of the blogger as H1

Anyway, I find very strange you did'nt already fix that big SEO hole

thanks

Hello,

This is for tag page: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.tags.php
Blogger: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.blogger.php
TeamBlog: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.category.php

Hope this helps. If you need anything else, please refer back to us. By the way, most 3rd party template uses h1 and it would be a no brainer if the extension also uses H1 tags. This would cause redundant h1 tags on the page. We have enough experience dealing with the removal of h1 tags in our extensions because 3rd party templates has their own h1 tags. Hence, we have decided to not use h1 tags.
