HTML Validator – help!

Error: Bad value 75px for attribute width on element img: Expected a digit but saw p instead. :

width and height in <img /> tag is always px, so you shouldn’t write 75px, but 75. See https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
It’s perhaps occuring in your theme.
Try download https://astrogrep.sourceforge.net/, download your theme on desktop from FTP and search for s="logo">. Maybe you will find something and will know how to remove px.

Error: Attribute onhover not allowed on element a at this point. :

It’s depreaced to use JS attr on HTML attr. It’s better to point onhover basing on item ID, what is pretty easy as you are using JQuery. Also, in this case it could be easier and more accessible to use plain CSS with siblings/child etc. selectors. Maybe it needs little structure rebuilding.

Error: Saw < when expecting an attribute name. Probable cause: Missing > immediately before. :

Missing > character closing div. It should be fixed in theme.
There are many of lack characters closing HTML tags or duplicated tags.
You should contact theme’s author with link.

Warning: Section lacks heading. :

There are just no headers identifing section content. Follow link https://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Usage/Headings/Missing and read about it.

Got it, thanks again! Would it be best to have a professional look into/fix these for us? We’re not well versed in this and I don’t want to mess anything up by fiddling with it

First you should write to theme’s author and show him link to validator. If you open site with theme there should be link to support forum or another way to contact.

If it’s paid theme, author should fix it immediately, if not – it may take a while. Then you will be just able to update theme in admin.

Why you shouldn’t fix it yourself? If author someday publish update for theme, you could forgot about changes nad update will remove yours fixed.

The only reason I’m nervous about us doing it ourselves is because we don’t know what we’re doing lol. We’re very new to SEO and the backend of things, so I wouldn’t want to mess something up by messing with things. Is it not a good idea to have someone else fix these issues for us?

If you are using not own theme, issues should be fixed by it author from one simple reason – if author fix it, it will be fixed on every site that using that theme.

Please navigate to: https://stepoutbuffalo.com/wp-admin/themes.php
And inform what theme are you using.

Maybe I told little wrong assuming that you are using not own theme, if so – then you could ask someone for help OR alternatively – do theme folder backup (download it from FTP to desktop) and then try fix it yourself. If something went wrong, just revert to backup.
If you wouldn’t let visitors see that site is under maintenance then I suggest you WP Maintenance Mode plugin on maintenance time.

Ok perfect we’ll contact the theme author, thanks!!
