    Well kmessinger, as to the two years, I’ve had some family things that took me away from all this and I’m trying to get back into it. It’s not a lot of fun when a family member dies. I’m not intentionally misrepresenting anything. Your sarcasm is unbecoming and unwarranted.

    I’m well aware of all the validation errors and have been trying through this thread – and other threads & forums – to find the code so that I can fix them. I know that they are on this page: https://blog.howtoworkfromhome.info/blog/ but where the heck does the page reside? Is it bits and pieces from WP or is it something I’ve overlooked on my host?

    Frankly, I thought that this was a relatively simple blog (compared to the ones I’ve seen), so I was trying to get it going. I’m really sorry you think I’m trying to trick you or something, I’m not. I posted here to try and get some real help, not get slammed because of something you think.

    I already stated that I’m a novice as a coder, so what makes you think that I’m not making mistakes in identifying where the errors are, or do you just randomly slam people for fun? Perhaps you don’t know how to help me and you just can’t admit it? You still haven’t told me where I might find the kind of code I’m having a problem with. I would think that all WPers would find that kind of code in the same place as it’s rather generic to page building. I just don’t know where because all this WP is new to me even though I created an account two years ago and am just now getting back to it.

    This blog was translated from a HTML/JS web site. Thought I’d try to update it. If it has problems (which I admit it does) than give me some help instead of junking out.

    If you don’t want to help, or can’t, just say so w/o implying that I’m deliberately misleading everyone.

    You IMHO hasn’t helped at all. Just made me feel that you think you’re some sort of Know-It-All elitist who gets some sort of jollies leading others on.

    If you’ve honestly tried to help me and this is just a big misunderstanding then all I can say is thanks, but I can’t say it’s been fun with your previous post.

    Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me?

    Thank you.

    For anyone out there who’d like to get rid of that Error icon, I’ve found that if you add this:

    <?php error_reporting(0); ?>

    after the ‘while’ code and BEFORE the <?php endwhile; else: ?> in your WP templates, you’ll get rid of that IE warning.

    However, that doesn’t help me with my coding problem mentioned above, soooooooo if any of you know how I can solve that and validate my code I’d appreciate it!

    Thanks.

    Yep, tried that too.

    All plugins were deactivated, all additional html was removed. All done one at a time to see if that particular plugin or html snippet was the gremlin.

    Nothing worked so I reactivated and replaced all removed coding (again one at a time).

    this page is where most of the errors are listed, but I can’t find anything that contains the <head> coding further down on the source page.

    Nothing from my Admin panel, nothing in my hosting folder.

    I’m not a very strong coder yet, and relatively hopeless in php, but this really has me stumped.

    Yeah, I have already. I went through all my theme templates; even fixed my Sidebar html that I stuck in for special displays.

    There is no code in any of them that match those kinds of errors that I mentioned.

    Since the content pages coding doesn’t carry heading code, there must be another page that I’m missing, but for the life of me I can’t find it either in WP or on my server account.

    Hi kmessinger,

    I’m trying to fix them, and I’ve run through all my WP theme templates, etc., but I can’t find some of the others.

    I’m slowly going through my content pages and fixing them up, but they don’t show the <head> coding in WP, and most of the errors I have seem to be in the head section of the WP display. This is driving me nuts since I started validating two days ago! It’s exasperating!

    I see the code and the error (through Firefox validation) but don’t know where to go to fix it. As WP calls a bunch of different codes to put together a page, some of them seem to be hidden from me.

    Example….
    <link rel=”stylesheet” …etc.><script language=JavaScript>

    should be <link rel=”stylesheet” …etc.><script type=”text/javascript”>

    I know that, and can fix it if I can find it, but I can’t!

    Can you suggest where such typical errors might be and how I can locate them either through WP or FTP?

    Much thanks for looking and your time!

    Hi Wokun,

    I agree w/ esmi and Shane G above. You WILL have to pay someone something somehow.

    You will probably want to pay for an independent host in order to control your site. Good registrars have no-cost forwarding & good hosts will allow you to get into your WP (or other) site files to tweak them as you see fit.

    $15 a month is way too much though. You shouldn’t be paying more than $5-$8 a month for an excellent host with unlimited bandwidth and storage. Try Powweb.com, they always have a good deal going on.

    Good luck!

    It’s coming up for me. Are you using IE?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the look, kmessinger!

    I’m a little confused as WP automatically did most of this coding.

    Where would I find the page on the Admin Panel to try to fix some of this?

    The first error listed is Line 316, Column 377, but I don’t know where to look for that. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.
