I purchased the Synck theme and had a developer work on it for the last 3 months. Only now that we are ready to go live, I noticed that there are 2 Head and 2 Body tags.
I saw it in Screaming Frog SEO tool and verified it by inspecting source.
This is a major problem for SEO. Any ideas why this would be the case and how to fix it?
This issue might be related to a plugin or custom modifications. Have you tried reaching out to the theme author directly?
I have not. Can you tell me who the theme author is? Sorry but I am not familiar with this system.
I am guessing Envato is a marketplace and author sell their works here? I see the name Theme Forest on my template. is Theme Forest the developer/author?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated
Ok I see it is WordPress River. I have opened a ticket with them directly.
Thanks!
Remove the duplicate head/body wrapper—check for an extra get_header()/wp_head() (or plugin) include.
If only it were that easy. The issue is on the main theme even with all plugins disabled there are a few instances of multiple Body.
But the most offensive plugin is Addons for Elementor Lite which adds multiple instances of multiple HEAD and BODY tags
It would take a significant recode of the theme to fix it, and even then I would have to make a child theme so my mods don’t get overwritten. It shouldn’t be this difficult. The authors should fix it
