W3 validation of rel prettyphoto and attribute ontouchstart

epertorta · October 2017

Dear Support,

We are trying to optimize our site for a SEO review, and I am getting some errors on W3 validation.

Here is the link to my site's results: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https://virusirto.hu/

As you will see, there is 2 problems only which gives several errors.

Unfortunately I am not able to solve these ones, so I would like to ask your help.

As I have seen in the theme-functions.php file, you define rel prettyphoto instead of using the class element, but I don't know why, and I wouldn't like to mess up the .php file.

Please help, it would be important for us to have a valid site for financial reasons.

Best regards,

Andras

Hello,
Please do not use this validator since it is outdated and does not support most of the HTML5 features.
Like the ones you mentioned.

Hello,

I don't think that this would be true.

You can read it here: https://validator.w3.org/whatsnew.html

But in the theme, for some reason you have exchange the class tags with rel tags.

Can you please provide deeper information on this topic? Other validators will find the very same elements: https://validator.nu/?doc=https://virusirto.hu

Sorry, but this topic is important for me, I would appreciate some bugfixes or more information.

Dear Support,

I appreciate that you have built a good theme, and I have already bought 5 copies of it. But this is clearly not an answer to my question.

You DO USE some codes which are not accapted by the validator service. I don't understand why you do it, but I would appreciate if you could correct them.

Linking here another praising article is clearly NOT a help.

BR,

Andras

Dear Andras,
The theme is open to whatever modification you desire, we are happy with the current state of the theme and are not planning to fix anything since there is nothing to fix.
thanks

Dear Unnamed Support Agent,

This is really only your opinion, and I am suprised about how you just don't care...
