Getting Error in HTML Validator

My site : https://yobif.com

<div class="breadcrumbs"><a href="https://yobif.com">Home</a><span class="breadcrumb_arrow">?</span></div><div id="container">

is line 205…. I’m guessing the breadcrumb separator is the issue? Maybe?

Is that a plugin or part of your theme that establishes the breadcrumbs?

I would use the html entity

»

rather than the actual symbols I guess to see if that is the problem…. if you can do that? I don’t know what options you have available with your breadcrumbs, as far as the arrow/seperator goes

That symbol is definitely the issue. When I visit your site, my browser doesn’t recognize it, so rather than seeing the intended symboil in your breadcrumbs, I see an ugly box. Using the html entity rather than pasting in the actual symbol will fix all of that

Hi Rev voodoo,

Thanks for your reply. Actually breadcrumb is a function and even I have disabled. But still am facing the same problem.

Same problem.

<a href='https://yobif.com/' class='current'>1</a><a href='https://yobif.com/page/2/'>2</a><a href='https://yobif.com/page/3/'>3</a><a href='https://yobif.com/page/4/'>4</a><a href='https://yobif.com/page/5/'>5</a><a href="https://yobif.com/page/2/" > <span class="navigation-sep">?</span> </a> <a href=https://yobif.com/page/49/> Last </a></div>

Notice in your pagination there, your theme uses that same seperator.
Once again, the html entity should be used rather than the literal character if you want validation

(you’ll notice after turning off the breadcrumb, the error moved to line 333, where your pagination is)

I have deleted the pagination.. But still am facing the problem.. ??

HM…. now I have no idea why it’s choking on that line.

Is this a theme you just uploaded, or have you been making any modifications to things?

I’m just wondering if you are introducing encoding errors when editing.

If you are doing editing, is it through the WP editor, or through some program?

Last weeks I didn’t do any modification in theme. But updated many plugins.

Hmmm… the theme name is desire, correct?

I just installed it, and I’m not having the same problems you are.

One thing I did change which got rid of several errors,

in header.php I changed:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"; charset="<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

to just

<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />

Not sure if that will help you at all. Have you done many modifications to the theme? It may be best to just switch to 2011 for a moment, delete the desire theme, and then reinstall it.

As I said, when I just installed the theme, I am not having any of the issues you are having.

Ok. Thanks for your solution. Let me delete the old one and update to new one. Nice support. Thanks again
