    Hi, I just installed your theme and went through the w3c validation but it seems to fail. When I used the standard theme from wordpress it was successful. Can you please help me to fix it?

    (its a fresh WordPress installation 3.6.1 no changes at all except your theme).

    see here:

    https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.fabienmischler.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

    Validation Output: 2 Errors

    Error Line 66, Column 33: end tag for “ul” which is not finished

    ?
    Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p>…</p> is not acceptable, as must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p>…</p>

    Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is “not finished”, not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists require appropriate list items (

      and
      require

    1. ; <dl> requires <dt> and <dd>), and so on.

    does work sorry for that

    That’s correct, none of that is related to the theme.

    However, you should keep in mind that it’s almost impossible to keep any WordPress site 100% valid according to the W3C anyways, especially as soon as you begin adding plugins.

    It’s more important to understand though that that’s okay, W3C is just a helpful tool to check for serious issues and frankly most sites will not validate nor should they (a much larger discussion).

    Anyways, if you need help in the future, make sure to use the official forum:
