Hello, my "Latest Comments" heading is displayed as an H5 heading. I'd like to change this, but I can't find the setting. Where or how can I change it to a different heading (H4) or a div?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can easily apply any CSS code to change the style of the header. There is no need to modify the HTML structure—simply apply your CSS rules to the following selector:
#widget-comments-container h5
For example, if you want to change the color, use this code:
#widget-comments-container h5 {
color: red;
}
Add the CSS code in the “Widget Custom CSS” textarea. It's located in the Dashboard > Comments > Settings> Addons > Widgets tab.

Hello, I don't want to change the appearance, but rather remove the H5 heading. From an SEO perspective, this H5 heading is problematic, and I would prefer a DIV. Thanks and regards.

Please note that this behavior comes from the theme’s widget title structure. Please contact your theme support regarding this issue.
Alternatively, you can disable “Use theme’s widget title structure”, and the wpDiscuz will load its own widget structure instead.

If I disable this, an H2 heading will be displayed. Can I then change this so that I don't have H1-6 headings?

As I've already mentioned, this comes from the theme’s widget title structure. You should contact your theme support regarding this issue.

@astgh That's a shame, it's certainly not very user-friendly, especially since this is a paid plugin. Regardless of the method or option selected, the widget always outputs an H4 heading, or an H2 if I choose the template options. In either case, it's a heading that isn't SEO-friendly!
And the widget doesn't offer any options like other providers do. Why can't I specify in the widget whether I want an H1 heading, or a span, p, or div?
Would such an implementation be too complicated? Would offering a JavaScript that disables the H4 be too complex?
Regards

We’re sorry, but we cannot add extra tags (such as H1–H6 or others). This type of customization should be handled by the theme.
There may be many other tags that users would like to add, and we are not able to support all of them. This should be managed on the theme side via hooks or settings.

In der Elementor Gruppe auf Facebook könnten wir das Problem beseitigen. Anbei der Post mit der Lösung. Es lag tatsächlich an Elementor. Danke und Grüße
richtig komisch, find ich. du und alle die es interessiert finden das unter elementor > includes > widgets > wordpress in zeile 263. da ist die halt einfach fix als h5 festgelegt. für alle nicht elementor widgets.
elementor gibt aber (ohne weitere erklärung, was es als laie glaub nicht verständlich macht), die möglichkeit für eine entsprechende hook: https://developers.elementor.com/docs/hooks/php/
die heißt "elementor/widgets/wordpress/widget_args".
die kann man nehmen und diese args umändern. das hier muss in die functions.php von deinem (child-)theme oder falls du ein plugin dafür hast, dann dahin:
function change_h5_widget_titel( $default_widget_args ) {
$default_widget_args = [
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<p>',
'after_title' => '</p>',
];
return $default_widget_args;
}
add_filter( 'elementor/widgets/wordpress/widget_args', 'change_h5_widget_titel', 10, 1 );
bei mir klappts. hoffe bei dir auch 🙂 ich hab ein anderes widgets, an dem ich das reproduzieren konnte genommen.
