    Hi, I’m trying to validate my code with total validator and i can’t resolve one specific problem.

    I’m new to wordpress so I learning on the fly how everything is connected here. Till now, succeeded to resolve most of the problems, except this one:

    257                 <p>
 257 next problemprevious problemE604 The matching end tag appears to be missing:
     E871 [WCAG v2 1.1.1 (A)] Link text is missing:
                       <a href="https://www.tusvesa.info/archives/31#more-31" class="more-link">
 257                   <br />
 257                   Read the rest of the entry &raquo;
 257                 </p>
 258                 <p>
 258 next problemprevious problemE020 No matching start tag found:
                       </a>
 258                 </p>
 259                 <br />
 260                 <strong>
 260                   Tags:
 260                 </strong>

    I’m looking into my code and I see

    <?php the_content('<br />Read the rest of the entry &raquo;<br /><br />'); ?>
<br />
<?php the_tags('<strong>Tags:</strong> ', ', ', ' '); ?>

    So I looked in the post_template.php, found the line where the link is created but no clue to why is I have this tags mess up in the lines…

    I also use firebug, and there I see that I have no “<p>” and “</p>” tags inside my linking tags! Only some “</p>” tag without a “<p>” tag before the tags call.

    Any ideas?… It might be me, writing somewhere unnecessary “</p>” or “<p>” tags, but I can’t think of any place that I didn’t looked in already… index.php, header.php, functions.php…

    you can try to validate it by total validator to see it by your self and compare it with firebug….

    Thank you!

    From your site:

    <p> <a href="https://www.tusvesa.info/archives/30#more-30" class="more-link"><br />Read the rest of the entry &raquo;</p>
<p></a></p>

    Try changing:

    <?php the_content('<br />Read the rest of the entry &raquo;<br /><br />'); ?>

    to

    <br /><?php the_content('Read the rest of the entry &raquo;'); ?>
<br /><br />
