tyvm! (… duh)

It seems that inserting images from Gallery (via WPG2ID tags) is killing my sidebar. It didnt do that before? Why all of a sudden; and more importantly, how Can I fix it??

AARg!

Also, if the post (that has an image) is viewed in Single Post mode (archive page) it displays normally. (https://dsouthwick.com/archives/56

That tool looks like it can help, but how do I use it?

Thats what I got for my website. The red “>” all seem correct, can someone help me outline what’s wrong?

my website is https://www.itestdrive.net

Thanks a lot

@therange, look at the last error of yours: an unclosed div tag – that could screw up any website!
On that validation page click “Show Source” and Revalidate.
The every error line # will become a link and by clicking it will take you the the line in the source code where the error occurrs.

Thanks a bunch for the reply.

Ok, on the Main Index Template file, I found the <div id=”rap”>

<div id=”rap”>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”main”>
<div id=”content”>

Where does the </div> belong on this file?

Thanks again

The closing probably is in the footer (or is not)
This is how the template files build up your webpage:

Of course, the closing tag might be there – and that would mean that an opening div tag went into one of your posts without being closed.

I tried putting the </div> in Index, Footer, and Post, but it still didn’t solve the problem.

Just to let you know, I didn’t edit anything, I just posted this post and everything went wrong.

my e-mail is itestdrive[at]gmail[dot]com, I can send you detailed codes

Thanks a bunch

OK, it’s down to two errors. I think it’s the first error (since it has something to do with the post that messed it up). Does anyone know what the following means and how it’s fixed?

required attribute “alt” not specified .
…701/040701_escape_hmed_7a.ss_h.jpg” /></div>

Thanks

It means what it says. You need an alt tag with images.

<img src="https://something.org/picture.jpg" alt="picture title" />

The <img> tag from the .JPG you mention doesn’t have an ‘alt’ tag!…WordPress likes them…

So…
…701/040701_escape_hmed_7a.ss_h.jpg” />

Should be:
.701/040701_escape_hmed_7a.ss_h.jpg” alt=”my JPG image” />

I think this is what it means…

So “alt” tags contain the title of the image?

For example, if I use the “Picture” button, insert the URL and then choose a title for the image, will that take care of the ‘alt’ tag?

OK, I found out the problem. When I add the “more” tag “alt-t”, it screws up, why is this happening?

I would really appreciate some feedback.
