Valid HTML output

  • This Mailchimp plugin is giving me error when validating my website. I want it to be valid but Mailchimp plugin is giving me this error:

    Line 342, Column 7: Element style is missing required attribute scoped.
<style>
Attributes for element style:
Global attributes
media
type
scoped
Also, the title attribute has special semantics on this element.

    I found out that on line 342 is this:

    <style>
	.widget_mailchimpsf_widget .widget-title {
		line-height: 1.4em;
		margin-bottom: 0.75em;
.
.
.
.
</style>

    How can i fix this? I can not edit the code because this is what the plugin has made. All that i did was put this in footer:

    <?php mailchimpSF_signup_form(); ?>

  • Hi Kristijan,

    Thanks for writing in today. I can definitely understand the concern here. To style the form, we will add a <style> tag above the form in your sites code.
    Most validators will mark a <style> element in the <body> tag as invalid. But validators can be strict at times and a <style> element in the body will work in the large majority of browsers.

    If you would like to remove that <style> tag, the plugin files will have to be modified. Below are the steps to do that.

    In the WordPress Admin area, go to Plugins > Editor.
    Select the MailChimp plugin and click on the mailchimp_widget.php Find the <style> section and remove it. The css in this section could be added to your site’s css or the <head> of your site.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
