Validation Errors

[Mike]

Hi,
I’m running my client’s site through the W3C validators, and getting a number of validation errors related to TEC. For example:

“itemscope” is not a member of a group specified for any attribute
there is no attribute “itemtype”
there is no attribute “itemprop”

there is no attribute “data-month”
ID “tribe-events-t” already defined
ID “tribe-events-s” already defined

FYI, I’m using XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and a Genesis theme.

Hi Mike,

In an effort to make the plugin more accessible and progressive we’ve incorporated HTML5 microdata (http://html5doctor.com/microdata/). Using the traditional XHTML transitional doctype, you are going to see warnings because the doctype does not include microdata. To get around this you should just be able to change your doctype in Genesis using something along the lines of:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Display Custom Doctype
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
remove_action( 'genesis_doctype', 'genesis_do_doctype' );
add_action( 'genesis_doctype', 'custom_doctype' );
function custom_doctype() { ?>

...or if you want to use HTML5...

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Display Custom Doctype
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
remove_action( 'genesis_doctype', 'genesis_do_doctype' );
add_action( 'genesis_doctype', 'custom_doctype' );
function custom_doctype() { ?>

I hope that helps but let me know if you need anything else.
