Hello!
One of my websites rank 7 for my main keyword and two days just after i insert <h1>keyword </h1>, not found in first 100
I observed in HTML that i have
<title>
<h1 class="imHidden"> (same text as title)
<h1>keyword </h1>
So i have two times H1 in one page, fact that conform to some SEO guru is not good for ranking.
Is there any posibility to avoid that title tag become coded also as H1?

Hello Nutu,
If you go in the installation folder of WebSite X5 in Program Files you need to open the folder templates and then the folder _custom where you wil find 2 files ver.html and hor.html in which you need to delete the line containing:
<h1 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h1>
and then the tag is no more present.
Please feel free to write back if you need more information.

Hi Claudio,
Thank you for your prompt answer! My problem now is that i can´t save after delete "Access is denied" I was try to edit this in Notepad
Any idea?
Greetings
Hi Nutu,
Copy the file to your desktop first. Edit it and save it on the destop. Then copy the saved file on the desktop, paste it to the directory in the installation folder.
This is really bad for SEO, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hello Vedat,
Many thanks for your help.
Now i had already done this:
1. I deleted from ver.html and hor.html:
2. <h1 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h1>
3. I overwritte all website files in server
And i STILL have in source website: <h1 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h1>
Looking at: view-source:http://www.gurtan.com/ i can see the same.. :-(
Hi Nutu,
I have not completely deleted it on mine. In fact last night I have tested on it in another way.
I have not completely deleted it. Instead of:
<h1 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h1>
I have placed it with:
<h2 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h2>
and
<h3 class="imHidden"><!-- PageTitle --><!-- TitleSeparator --><!-- SiteTitle --></h3>
It worked. But in this case Bing Webmaster Tools was giving me warning about not having H1 tags on my pages.
So I have placed it back. I will try it some other way. I have to have H1 tags, but I don't want it exactly the same as my titles. There may be a way, but I don't know it yet.
----------------------
The reason It doesn't work right away is that X5 places that file ver.html in its cache.
In order for it to work right away, export the project first to your hard drive.
Then import the whole project again in X5 again, it will give a different name like PROJECTNAME (1)
Than upload this new procejt to the server. Then it places it on the site right away, thinking it is a new project, without using the cache.
