page title for home page?
by Rod Mitchell·2 years ago·5 replies
Hi there just installed your plugin and wonder if someone can help me. I’m running the wp 2021 theme and it won’t let me create a header for my home page. I don’t mean the site title, I mean header for my home page. There’s a box there for it, but it won’t register the title I put in it for some reason. Been told theme doesn’t support that but it’s affecting my SEO, so screming frog spider tells me 🙂
