[Plugin: Lightbox Plus] rel="lightbox" not valid in HTML5

I have the same problem… saw some documentation elsewhere that suggested changing all the rel= entries to class= which would seem like a neat solution – tried editing various files but no joy ??

Got the same Problem.

Please fix this one, so that we can validate our pages again.

Thanks

Will be in the next update. Probably a check box named Generate Valid HTML5 Code. I myself have a need for this too but buggier problems got the bulk of the time. Should have another update in a day or so.

Hi Dan,

Do you know yet when this ‘Valid HTML5 Code’ option might be available?

I’m hitting the same problem. I also get the following – is anyone aware whether this a Lightbox Plus thing, or the WP Gallery?

Element dl is missing a required instance of child element dd.

Thanks,
Sarah

On this note, when adding a gallery into a page/post the images “a href” dont have the class or rel= attached to them? I tried the beta 2.5.6 but that didnt help either?

Is this related to the new media manager?

wp 3.5.1
lbs 2.5.5

Should be updated in latest release (2.6). Also gallery issues should also be resolved for various version of WordPress.

Great, thank you! Just updated a client site, checked the ‘Valid HTML5’ option and the validation errors have now disappeared.

Now off to find out how to get rid of my ‘Element dl is missing a required instance of child element dd.’ errors… I think the default WP gallery is the culprit this time…

No problem sorry it took me so long. Let me know because my gallery code is uses their gallery code and probably passes the same problem through.

I got as far as working out that the ‘missing dd’ error is due to not having captions set for my gallery images.

It’s a WP gallery thing, not specific to LBP.

It seems a bit of a flaw to me, as there are often ocassions when clients want to add a gallery with no caption. You can change the containing elements that the gallery uses on the fly via the gallery shortcode (e.g. changing dl to div etc) – but this is not ideal for clients.

The only other way I’ve found thus far invovles re-writing the gallery completely.

There is an old related trac ticket here: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/14819, although not sure what the solution is given Nacin’s comment.
