Create Page Titles from H1 using Yoast?

[Marketing_Today]

I'm working on a site that has 280 blog posts that have either been migrated from an old CMS site or created on the Dev version of the new WordPress site.

We've written 280 unique meta descriptions so they don't truncate but it there a quick way I can export the current H1s and then import them into Yoast so they are set as the Page Titles?

I've written unique Page Titles and meta descriptions for all the Service and Products page and just want a way to speed up the blog posts as their H1s are really good and what I would use as Page Titles anyway.

Any help, greatly appreciated!

Yes, I took Laura's advice and all sorted now.

Hi Marketing_Today! Ever work this out?

By default, I think Yoast uses the post title as the Page Title with the sitename appended to the end. If you just want it to be the page title, you'll need to update the Yoast settings.

In the WP dashboard, go to SEO (Yoast settings) > Titles & Metas > Post Types tab.  Add %%title%% next to the Title template. Your page level settings will override these on any pages where you have added a custom page title.
