How can I solve W3C errors?

[gemini]

Using Streamline child theme:


I did check the W3C Markup Validation Service on ip-192.com and get 2 errors.


Error Line 243, Column 6: end tag for element "div" which is not open
</div> <div id="footer-widgeted">
This Error belongs to an empty sidebar-bottom-left div, which is correct defined.


Error Line 280, Column 6: end tag for element "div" which is not open
</div>
<div id="sidebar-bottom-left">
</div>
This Error closes a widget_nav_menu.


I see unclosed </body> and </html> tags at the bottom of the page.


This problem happens at Streamline child home pages with different customizations.

Any hint how I can solve this would be very much appreciated.

start by checking any text widgets you have. Those are the most likely place for bad HTML. What changes did you make to the home.php file?

Please see the content of the home.php below. I don't recall any changes on my end.

PHP Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?>
<div id="content-sidebar-wrap">

    <?php genesis_before_content(); ?>
    <div id="content" class="hfeed">
        
        <div id="homepage">
            <?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Homepage')) : ?>
                <div class="widget">
                    <h4><?php _e("Homepage", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
                    <div class="wrap">
                        <p><?php _e("This is a widgeted area which is called Homepage. It is using the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin and the Genesis - Featured Posts widget to display what you see on the Streamline child theme demo site. To get started, you'll need to download the plugin from the link given in the Streamline child theme's README file. Then log into your WordPress dashboard, and then go to the Appearance > Widgets screen. There you can drag the Dynamic Content Gallery widget and the Genesis - Featured Posts widget into the Homepage widget area on the right hand side.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
                    </div><!-- end .wrap -->
                </div><!-- end .widget -->
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div><!-- end #homepage -->                    

    </div><!-- end #content -->
    <?php genesis_after_content(); ?>

</div><!-- end #content-sidebar-wrap -->
<?php genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I did replace the DCG with the Smart Slideshow widget, but couldn't find bad code there.

The 4 footers are served by custom menus. I checked the the other widgets, but couldn't find any unclosed items.

I don't understand the unclosed </body> and </html> tags at the bottom of the page.

what edits have you made?

none

Then it has to be content, either in the post or via a text widget.
