How To Fix Or W3C Validate WordPress

Last updated on October 1, 2017
Posted on May 19, 2010

Is w3c Validation important for your website?

At least there are many preferences out there, and they are different from one to another.

But what is w3c actually? w3c stands for World wide web Consortium, basically, they care about web code standards, so that it will improve web page user’s experiences in your site. Read more here.

These are a few reasons which make sense to me on why we should validate our site:

1. Trouble-free crawling from search engine spiders. If our site has clean code, it will help these robots easier to read our site. It means, we will get better indexing.


2. It certainly has positive effects for your users and yourself, because with valid code, your site will be more friendly across many kind of browsers and operating system platforms. I really noticed after cleaning up my code, my site loads faster.

3. Some of you probably already heard that Google will take a look at how fast your site or blog loads as algorithm, and to my opinion, it is important for organic rankings and page rank.

This is what we can do to help cleaning up our code:

1. Some plugins are buggy, for my regular visitor, they may notice, I remove some plugins. When I checked my code in validator, I noticed lots of error codes came from plugins, so I decided to clean them up.

2. This video will guides you on how to fix the validator error codes, by looking for a simple encoding problem that may happen to our site. (Also we can hear that my little sweet daughter screams in other room because she played with her daddy).

3. When we fix the errors, big time we do not need to delete the codes, but to look the explanations in w3c and correct the code.

Honestly, at first I just ignored my error, this is what I thought, “the famous and big sites have lots of error, but they get lots of traffic still, so this is not important”. Then I found out yesterday I got 63 errors and 5 warnings! i wasn’t so happy about it, it worries me and tried to fix it. Now, to me, validating my code is a very good idea! what about you?

    Hey Kimi,

    Thank you for this informational website.
    I recently validated my code, now the only 19 errors I got are from a Youtube embed code.
    Do you know if it’s possible to clean up that code?

      Hey CMentality,

      Yes, I have also had some problems with youtube embed codes, try this site to automatically generate clean code of youtube videos. Don’t forget to click on “XHTML” tab. Let me know if it helps.

    Hey Kimi,

    I found a way to get it xHTML validated without errors.
    Just run it to the website you provided.
    Then to allow fullscreen video add just before the closing :

    I find your info to be extremely useful and very well explained — especially the SEO material. I recently read your blog on the validator and php errors. I found 5 errors and am now trying to fix them, but I can’t seem to find which file in the blog has the errant code. Is there a way to search for phrases my blog’s php files? Thanks so much!

      Hello Michael,

      Having 5 errors is absolutely not bad 🙂

      When you want to validate it, there is a button labeled “show source” when you click the line number, it will then show you the source code which is causing errors.

      We should have php or html knowledge about this.

      Good luck!

    Hi Kimi,

    When I try to validate my wordpress blog, I get 189 errors and 49 warnings. Since I don’t know much about php or html, I am not able to edit anything. Is there a paid service or can you refer someone who can fix my problem rather than me doing it on my own and messing up things. This is my only active blog and don’t wish to mess it up. Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Nishit Dave

      Hi Nishit,

      Welcome to this blog..

      I don’t have any ideas of someone who can provide that service, and if you found someone, be careful, since there are scams out there, especially in internet world..

      I only can recommend odesk, which is a reputable website for hiring freelancer.

      Good luck, and thanks for coming accross

      Kimi.
