Question about HTML5 validator

Hi,

I am trying to validate my WordPress website http://www.controlmanager.it/ using http://validator.w3.org/,
I have VANTAGE theme installed.

Unfortunately I see 3 errors I cannot solve:

1) Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta.

2) Element link is missing required attribute property.

3) Element link is missing required attribute property.

Could you advise me, please?
Thanks and best regards,
– Amedeo

    Sorry, missing code

    Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta.

    Element link is missing required attribute property.

    <a href="#" rel="nofollow"></a>

    Element link is missing required attribute property.

    Best regards.

    Hi Amedeo

    Looks like you’ve resolved the no-follow issue.

    The X-UA-Compatible meta tag allows web authors to choose what version of Internet Explorer the page should be rendered as (ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6771258/whats-the-difference-if-meta-http-equiv-x-ua-compatible-content-ie-edge-e).

    This line is correct and does work with Internet Explorer, however it’s not “standard HTML”. You can read more about that here: http://blog.yjl.im/2011/01/bad-value-x-ua-compatible-for-attribute.html.

    If you want to remove it you’d need to create a child theme, insert header.php into your child theme and delete the line concerned. I’ve done this for you here if you want to give it a try:

    https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/vantage-child-header-x-ua.zip

    Install from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload

    Just keep in mind that you’ll need to redo your Customizer settings and menu location setting after activating the child theme.
