Hi, I am seeing some errors in Enfold theme when running my pages through W3C Validator:

Please help us fix the errors as soon as possible.
Thanks!!!

Hi leangroup,
As far as I can see all the markup that is indicated as errors are needed for the theme to function, is there any reason to why you want to fix them?
Thanks,
RikardThe main reason was Google ranking that is based on site’s structure and usability.
If these errors can be fixed, please let us know.Thanks,
Alex
Hey,
If you remove the markup the theme won’t function as it should which I think would be very bad for SEO/usability, so I don’t think it’s a very good idea to do so. Have you received any notices from Google that it’s affecting your ranking or have you experienced any drop in rankings because of it?
Regards,
RikardHi Rikard, we did experience a drop in rankings and just wanted to make sure we methodically eliminate all possible issues. Maybe you could address these errors in the future updates? Please let us know.
Thanks!

Hey!
it won’t be possible to eliminate it in the future, as such an advanced theme like Enfold could not work otherwise. If you don’t want any javascript, jQuery etc. than I recommend to use a default WordPress theme.

AndyHi,
Ok, that’s not good, was it due to changing to the Enfold theme? I doubt there will be anything done about those warnings, which most of them are, since there isn’t anything actually wrong with the markup. W3C just thinks it should be written according to their rules, which are more like recommendations to be honest. One thing you could do is to remove your Facebook widget which is causing a couple of the errors, so even Facebook is breaking the rules.

Rikard
