XHTML validation problem

Did you manually add an <li>, if so remove it, because I believe the function automatically adds it in.

For example, in the default theme, it says

<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>

so it looks like you need the li on loginout, but now on register

oh … i’ll try …

Well, it must be there, cuz it’s finding it. Ah, I know, if you have nested lists, the “secondary” list set must be in a UL.

So if you have something like:

<li><?php wp_list_pages() ?></li>

You will get the error because it needs to be:

<li>
<ul><?php wp_list_pages() ?>
</ul>
</li>

Get it?

The opening and closing elements of the list are missing and therefore you are getting two LI next to each other.

taking the <il> out still won’t allow it to validate for some reason …

adding the <ul> works but adds a few spaces before the actual text, how can i remove those extra spaces? …

correction above …

very odd, it’s returning two “li” tags … but in my index.php it shows only:

shown in my index.php: <li> <ul><?php wp_register(); ?></ul> </li>

shown in view source and validation page:
<li>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://tjinh200.com/tjinh200/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a></li>
</ul>
</li>


correction: not sure why, but tried just taking out the “il” tags again, and it validated, thank you ??
