Hi,
How can I fix this issue: 16 pages have duplicate H1 and title tags?
Is there a setting in Rank Math SEO that I should change?
Using Kadence theme and Elementor. I am suspecting the issue might be because of Elementor but not sure.
Thank you for your help and time.

Rank Math freeHello,
Thank you for your patience.
The report you have shared means that you have a title tag and an H1 tag that are the same text.
It’s not uncommon to have a title tag and an H1 tag that are similar, but you want to avoid having the same text because it looks like your website is over-optimized, kind of like keyword stuffing.
To fix this, you may need to update either your title or H1 tag.
In Rank Math, you can update the title by editing the title in the snippet editor:
Alternatively, you can add variables like %sitename% to your pages in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > [Post Type] > Single Title field.
Hope that helps.
Rank Math freeHello,
The Single Post Title field in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Post is going to be overwritten by the custom title you set while editing your posts.
Also, the fields in Titles & Meta settings act as a default and will be used on your future posts, unless you modify them in the snippet editor.
Please open each of the posts and check the title field. You may need to ensure that they contain the
%sitename%variable to fix the issue
Looking forward to helping you.
