I am just playing around with my new WP/Thesis installation trying to convert a DW buildt site onto the wp/thesis platform. Using it for a static site with quite a few pages containing articles/products and background info I just wonder if there are limitations in this setup when it comes to structuring the different subjects etc. I must say I am a newbie at this. So far I find wp/thesis sooo easy when it comes to update/SEO and managing. Its just the organizing of quite a bit of articles I get confuesed in. The nav bar fills up quite fast..Any tips? Hi Matt,

There's only an H2 with the Page's Title!I am using an image as header and I have also unchecked "Show site name in header" and "Show site tagline in header" from the thesis site options. Is this why there's no H1 tag? Is there a way around this?Thanks, Josh Nope, I can’t see an H1 tag. There’s only an H2 with the Page’s Title!

I am using an image as header and I have also unchecked “Show site name in header” and “Show site tagline in header” from the thesis site options. Is this why there’s no H1 tag? Is there a way around this?

Thanks,
Josh

It is the site tagline. You can put a new <h1> in via a hook, but you'll have to rebuild the header. There is always an <h1> tag. It is the site tagline.

Any idea how I can add an H1 tag? The page title acts as an H2 tag but I want it to be H1!Thanks, Josh Hey,

When using a page as homepage, there won’t be any H1 tag on the page which is bad for SEO. Any idea how I can add an H1 tag? The page title acts as an H2 tag but I want it to be H1!

Thanks,
Josh

I'm sure there is a theoretical limit as to what Thesis can handle, but I'd be willing to bet WordPress breaks down way sooner. As far you are concerned, Thesis can handle anything you throw at it. As far as I know, there is no limit to child pages. The only time I would be worried is if you start to approach the 1,000,000 posts + pages mark...and then I would only worry because you'd have spent every waking second online :D @Susannah

As a complete beginner, I have to say that there seems to be virtually nothing 'out there' that gives a good basic overview of what Thesis is all about. On one of the forums someone suggested the development of a Wiki, which I'm sure would be helpful to relatively non-technical users like me. That's how I found your site. Your videos are really clear and 'un-threatening' and I would like to thank you for all your time and effort in putting them together.Like Ryan, I want to put together a content heavy site involving at least 100 pages. Leaving aside for the moment the (probably rather major) question of custom templates, is there any limit to the number of pages Thesis can handle, or the number of, say grandchild pages I could link to a child page (does that make sense?!). It's all worrisome stuff when you've no idea what you're doing! Hi Matt.

I will only have 6-10 pages so Thesis seems as though it may work. One thing that you wrote concerned me though..."It is important to note that although the nav menu will say “Home” for the page you choose as the static homepage, the actual page name is determined by what you call it in Wordpress."Are you saying that the Home page url would not be mydomain.com but rather mydomain.com/whatever?I will also need a custom header. Would you happen to have a video about that too? :-) Thanks Hi & thanks for the video!

“It is important to note that although the nav menu will say “Home” for the page you choose as the static homepage, the actual page name is determined by what you call it in WordPress.”

Are you saying that the Home page url would not be mydomain.com but rather mydomain.com/whatever?

I will also need a custom header. Would you happen to have a video about that too? :-)

It was very well done. Easy to follow, straight to the point, good audio and a nice clear voice and slideshow for your video. I am a very newbie to wordpress, thesis and css code. Because of you and a host of other Thesis fans, we are able to getting our feet wet in the web dev part of the internet. The site is coming along and it should be launched just in time for St Valentines day, a perfect time to launch a wedding ceremony site. Matt,

I don't think I have. But it would be very easy to accomplish, unless you wanted multiple custom page templates. In that case, it would be very hard :D @Ryan
