Warning: Section lacks heading. Consider using h2-h6 elements to add identifying headings to all sections.

adding <section><h1> unordered list content here <h1></section> gives this error.

Error: Element ul not allowed as child of element h1 in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

<section>↩
            <ul id="gallery">↩
                <li>↩

Actually I simply added

<h2>Heading</h2> following <section>, instead of <h1>...</h1> and that cleared everything.

Thank you! This was helpful-

adding <h2>Heading</h2> following <section> cleared my code for the check.

Try adding the Heading1 element as a child of section but a sibling or the unordered list element as below.

<section>↩
   <h1>Heading></h1>
            <ul id="gallery">
            </ul>
</section>

It looks like you're trying to wrap the whole h1 element inside the section around ul

Warning: Consider using the h1 element as a top-level heading only (all h1 elements are treated as top-level headings by many screen readers and other tools).

I received the same issue with the <section> code. all other code works fine though.
