• I have absolutely no idea what it means to validate my RSS feed. All I know is that in order to connect my blog to bloglovin’ I have to do this but I keep gettin these error messages:

    Validation Output: 3 Errors

    Error Line 103, Column 99: No space between attributes.
    …m action=”https://atuesdayinapril.com/”id=”search-form” class=”searchform clear…
    ?
    Error Line 220, Column 548: An img element must have an alt attribute, except under certain conditions. For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images.
    …c=”https://www.bloglovin.com/widget/bilder/en/widget.gif?id=12809053″></div&gt;
    ?
    Error Line 243, Column 404: Duplicate attribute class.
    …<span>WordPress</span></div> <nav class=”small-menu” class=”clearfix”>

    What does it mean and how can I fix it? Please give me step by step instructions. I very much appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!

    Open the template for the theme/child-theme you are using to address these errors.

    The first one is pointing out the fact that the action attribute and the id attribute have no spaces between them. Add one.

    The second one is asking you to add an alt attribute to the img tag.

    The third one shows that your nav element has two class attributes. just put all the classes in one attribute.

    After that, save your template and those errors should be gone.

    If coding is not something you are comfortable with, it seems you are using the theme Spacious, which is authored by https://themegrill.com/. Reach out to them to address these errors.

    Thank you so much for answering my question iamgarrett. You’re right, I’m not very familiar with coding but I’d done a few things with coding, I just need to know what I’m looking for first.

    I’d like to try your suggestions first but I’m not exactly sure where to look for these things. I’m currently in Editor, how do I find each of these in editor?

    First, where do i find the functions attribute and the id attribute?

    I don’t know the specifics of how your theme/child-theme is architected, unfortunately. Nor am I familiar with the Editor application. I highly suggest getting in touch with the theme developer for more informative help.
