How can I change the product <h2> in Woocommerce Storefront to <h3>? – SEO

I’m using a child theme to Woocommerce’s Storefront theme. On the home page, it is rendering the product names of the featured products as h2s. I would like to change these to h3s (SEO reasons).

The h2s use this class: woocommerce-loop-product__title. I searched through the Storefront theme, and the only place I found that class was in CSS.

I looked in this file: /storefront/inc/storefront-template-functions.php and found this code:

if ( ! function_exists( 'storefront_featured_products' ) ) {
/**
 * Display Featured Products
 * Hooked into the `homepage` action in the homepage template
 *
 * @since  1.0.0
 * @param array $args the product section args.
 * @return void
 */
function storefront_featured_products( $args ) {

    if ( storefront_is_woocommerce_activated() ) {

        $args = apply_filters( 'storefront_featured_products_args', array(
            'limit'      => 4,
            'columns'    => 4,
            'orderby'    => 'date',
            'order'      => 'desc',
            'visibility' => 'featured',
            'title'      => __( 'We Recommend', 'storefront' ),
        ) );

        $shortcode_content = storefront_do_shortcode( 'products', apply_filters( 'storefront_featured_products_shortcode_args', array(
            'per_page'   => intval( $args['limit'] ),
            'columns'    => intval( $args['columns'] ),
            'orderby'    => esc_attr( $args['orderby'] ),
            'order'      => esc_attr( $args['order'] ),
            'visibility' => esc_attr( $args['visibility'] ),
        ) ) );

        /**
         * Only display the section if the shortcode returns products
         */
        if ( false !== strpos( $shortcode_content, 'product' ) ) {

            echo '<section class="storefront-product-section storefront-featured-products" aria-label="' . esc_attr__( 'Featured Products', 'storefront' ) . '">';

            do_action( 'storefront_homepage_before_featured_products' );

            echo '<h2 class="section-title">' . wp_kses_post( $args['title'] ) . '</h2>';

            do_action( 'storefront_homepage_after_featured_products_title' );

            echo $shortcode_content;

            do_action( 'storefront_homepage_after_featured_products' );

            echo '</section>';

        }
    }
}

}

I think this runs the Featured Products section.

I tried changing this code:

echo '<h2 class="section-title">' . wp_kses_post( $args['title'] ) . '</h2>';

to:

echo '<h3 class="section-title">' . wp_kses_post( $args['title'] ) . '</h3>';

I uploaded the /inc/ folder to my child directory, and there were no changes. I tried uploaded the storefront-template-functions.php file into the /inc/ file of the original storefront theme. Again, nothing happened.

I’m stumped. I really thought I had the correct bit of code to change these to h3s. Any idea what I need to do to change the Featured Product h2s into h3s?

    Well, it turns out that I was looking in the wrong place and doing the wrong thing. I needed to add something to the functions.php file in my child theme to get this to work. Here's what I added:

    remove_action( 'woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title','woocommerce_template_loop_product_title', 10 );
add_action('woocommerce_shop_loop_item_title', 'abChangeProductsTitle', 10 );
function abChangeProductsTitle() {
echo '<h3 class="woocommerce-loop-product__title">' . get_the_title() . '</h3>';
}

    I got the basis for this code from this answer: When changing woocommerce title hook the first item doesn't change

    Could be a number of things. First thing that came to mind is a page caching system that is rendering cached web pages. So if a system like that is in place disable it. Then try and view the page with a force fresh by clicking CTRL+F5.

    If that doesn’t work next thing could be that in the CSS h2 and h3 tags have the same values. Check your CSS and see if there is a h1, h2, h3, h4 declaration and see if it has been declared as a group. If it is remove the h3 and style it to your needs.
