Thanks for creating such a great responsive easy to use theme. I am attempting to SEO optimize my website. I have found I have W3c validation errors. My website is: (https://www.acuhire.com). I am using Vantage Premium Theme. The W3C Validation site: (http://validator.w3.org/ ) states I have 4 Errors, 1 warning(s). The following is a list of the errors.
Validation Output: 4 Errors
1. Line 1, Column 173: Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta.
…iv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=10″ />@cha…

2. Line 27, Column 131710: Bad value for attribute media on element style: Media query ended prematurely.

Syntax of media query:
One or more media queries, combined in a comma-separated list. Each media query consists of a media type and zero or more expressions that check for the conditions of particular media features. A media type is one of the following: all, braille, embossed, handheld, print, projection, screen,speech, tty, or tv. Note: The aural media type is deprecated. For information about valid media features and about the exact syntax of media queries, see the Media Queries specification.
3. Line 27, Column 135740: Element hgroup not allowed as child of element header in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Hi
One: This meta tag forces IE to load the latest version. It does work but isn’t standard yet. At least that’s my understanding. We might be able to render this using PHP instead. I’ll suggest it on our side.
Two: This is most likely created by a plugin, it’s not part of Vantage.
Three and Four: hgroup error: We’re unfortunately leaving this. At this stage it’s not possible to swap that tag out without disrupting an unknown amount of customers running a child theme with the header file in their child theme.
Five: A small problem with the headline widget still outputting an H3 tag when no data is inserted into the sub-headline. If you use the sub-headline field this will resolve.
Hi, Thank you for the reply Andrew. This helps me understand it’s not something I need to correct. I want to say again that I really like and recommend SiteOrigin Vantage Premium theme.
Super, glad we could help. Thanks for your positive feedback. All the best with your project.
Hi,
I didnt change any of source files and I have 7 errors.
Could you look at it? I think there are some problems since I update Vantage premium theme (Unclosed element span, End tag h3 seen, but there were open elements).
