Lots of W3C HTML Validation errors

    I love this theme and I am using it straight out of the box without any modifications so far. However, I noticed that this theme is generating upwards of almost 50 HTML Validation errors depending on the page. Some of the errors originated in my widgets and my postings but those have been fixed. The vast majority of errors are coming from this theme.

    I’m not here to be critical of the developer as I’m grateful for his hard work in creating something that looks this nice.

    I plan on fixing many of the validation errors with a child theme.

    However, there are a couple of validation errors that should be addressed by the developer:

    – Duplicate ID primary. <div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">

    – End tag svg did not match the name of the current open element (image). </svg>

    Thank-you!

    I tried something like that but got some errors. Stupid mistake on my part. Fixed.

    It’s working now, except that it cannot find my new fallback icons which are located in my child theme image folder. What’s the current fallback mechanism and how can I get it to also look in the child’s /image/ folder?

    Thanks.

    So is this based on 2.8.4 or the 2.8.5 branch?

    I’m using your latest, 2.8.5

    So now I’m using CSS background images for each icon. You can see in css/style.css how I did this. It’s pretty simple. Now in your child theme, add the images at the same size in an images folder and reference them from your child theme CSS.

    Since it’s within CSS, no problem… I just didn’t think to look there first… I was searching the JS.

    All fixed and working now.

    Thanks again!

    No problem. Thanks for changing your review too! That means a lot. If you find other issues, please open a new thread so this one doesn’t get too big.
