Wordpress HTML error

**CloudShadow** · 18th Feb 2011, 07:15 PM

So i have been trying to make my website HTML error free by using validator.w3.org. by googling a lot and searching everywhere i've managed to reduce the errors from 56 to 1. This last one is kinda annoying and i cant seem to figure out how to remove it. Check out the validation report here

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=xb...Inline&group=0

Screenshot of error:

If someone can help me solve this thing, i'll be very grateful

You have two link tags for favicon, you need to move this one between the <head> tags.

PHP Code:


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://xboxpirate.com/wp-content/themes/inove/favicon.ico" />

And remove the other one, or the other way around.

Thanks for the reply, but i kinda suck at HTML stuff.

can you tell me where exactly am i supposed to change this. header.php?

This is the code of the header.php

Code:

<!-- header START -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
<div id="header" onclick="location.href='http://xboxpirate.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">

	<!-- banner START -->
	<?php if( $options['banner_content'] && (
		($options['banner_registered'] && $user_ID) || 
		($options['banner_commentator'] && !$user_ID && isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH])) || 
		($options['banner_visitor'] && !$user_ID && !isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH]))
	) ) : ?>
		<div class="banner">
			<?php echo($options['banner_content']); ?>
		</div>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<!-- banner END -->

	
</div>
<!-- header END -->

Thanks a lot for the help

Are you sure that's header.php or at least all of it?

header.php should start with html tag or doctype tag.

Move this:

PHP Code:


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://xboxpirate.com/wp-content/themes/inove/favicon.ico" />

Right before this:

PHP Code:


</head>

Result:

PHP Code:


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://xboxpirate.com/wp-content/themes/inove/favicon.ico" />
</head>

That wasn't the entire code. This is

Code:


<!-- header START -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
<div id="header" onclick="location.href='http://xboxpirate.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">

	<!-- banner START -->
	<?php if( $options['banner_content'] && (
		($options['banner_registered'] && $user_ID) || 
		($options['banner_commentator'] && !$user_ID && isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH])) || 
		($options['banner_visitor'] && !$user_ID && !isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.COOKIEHASH]))
	) ) : ?>
		<div class="banner">
			<?php echo($options['banner_content']); ?>
		</div>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<!-- banner END -->

	
</div>
<!-- header END -->

<!-- navigation START -->

Hey replace

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

with this

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://xboxpirate.com/wp-content/themes/inove/favicon.ico" />

both are same may be you are not getting the space right.Try it

**el_jentel1** · 18th Feb 2011, 07:34 PM

Weird. Anyway, replace this:

Code:

<!-- header START -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

With:

Code:

<!-- header START -->

anangupta, there is nothing wrong with the tag itself, it's the placement. Basically he wants his page to be validated by W3 (XHTML valid).

Link tags can only be used between head tags, that is why it is not being validated.

**CloudShadow** · 18th Feb 2011, 07:35 PM

Tried that, put this code

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://xboxpirate.com/wp-content/themes/inove/favicon.ico" />

first before  and then after. Error still comes

**el_jentel1** · 18th Feb 2011, 07:36 PM

Read my previous post CloudShadow.

**CloudShadow** · 18th Feb 2011, 07:40 PM

Still doesn't validate

Current code of header.php

Code:

<!-- header START -->

<div id="header" onclick="location.href='http://xboxpirate.com';" style="cursor: pointer;">

	<!-- banner START -->
	<?php if( $options['banner_content'] && (

	) ) : ?>
