    I’m using an older theme and was wondering if I need to update the DOCTYPE declaration? It is currently set to: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  • Hi @jrcollins,

    as written here the DOCTYPE informs the browser which version of HTML (or XML) is used to write the document. If the theme you are using is written in XHTML 1.0, it should be provided with the corresponding doctype.
