I have run W3 validator and it has highlighted a number of errors.
These are beyond the scope of Cornerstone.

How do I deal with these?

I will provide my FTP etc in a separate post

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

You don’t need to fix them all, the validation is only based on single or few standard. And nowadays, websites uses multiple standards to make the site applicable to all browsers and devices.

What you need to fix are malformed elements, like stray tags. From your screenshots, they are on #2, #9, and #13. You can’t fix them all at once, there are cases that 100 of errors is just because of the first error.

And looks like the validator is still fetching the cache of your site, as I mentioned in your other thread. Example,

#2 error says line 613, I checked directly and there is no stray <div> in there, what’s on line 613 is this

<script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var woo_log_ajaxurl = {"ajaxurl":"http:\/\/www.dunedinsegwaytours.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php"};
/* ]]> */
</script>

Thanks!

OK but whats all that mean??

Hi there,

I think it should be okay, the validator isn’t just able to see the latest code/content from your site.

There is no <div> on line 613 as they recommend to be fixed.

You may ignore it, or try duplicating your page to new URL and validate it again.

Thanks!

OK did that but still errors.
Is the validator at fault or the code?
How do we tell?

What next action.
Are they things you could fix for me??

Appreciate the help

Can I ask please HOW did you get the code to compare to the error?

[Rad]

Hi there,

I mentioned this on your other thread 🙂

In your browser navigate to your site (eg. home page), then with your mouse, right click your page and hit “View page source”. You can do that in your chrome. Then on source tab/window, there is a long list of numbers on the left side (looks like a scrollbar). Then scroll down until you’re on line 613.

Then find <div> on that line, and you’ll not find it.

Thanks!

OK just a slow learner….!@
Is this editable ??

[Paul R]

No, You will have to edit it within wp dashboard.

Thanks

[michaelgraynz]

Yes but when I try to edit a page in WP it defaults to Cornerstone where the code is NOT directly editable.
So HOW is it done??

[Christian]

What do you mean “defaults to Cornerstone”? Could you give us a screenshot?

To learn how to use Cornerstone, please see our Knowledge Base.

Thanks.

file one is home page
if i try to edit the text i get screen 2

Hi there,

You can’t edit a Cornerstone page with another editor. Cornerstone is not a editor like the default editor rather it’s a page builder. So you can simply mix them. If you open and edit the page with default editor ignoring the warning the page will be corrupted.

Hope this makes sense.
