    Hi all

    I was trying to make some Pages for my wordpress, but when I try to validate the whole thing, it says:
    No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.

    But i’m pretty sure everything is fine.
    this is the output of my html file (header only):

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr">

<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

	<title>Midnight Maniacs</title>

	<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.3.3" /> <!-- leave this for stats please -->

	<style type="text/css" media="screen">
		@import url( https://localhost/midnightmaniacs/wp-content/themes/MNMTheme/style.css );
	</style>

  • you know, sometimes thing strike me as funny…
    why is this funny?

    cause you don’t know, though it is hiding right under your nose… in your defense though, you would never know it was there, well- unless you know…

    right click this page- (or any that validates) view source… in the header you will see:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    just add that to your page…. you good to go…

    thanks for the chuckle, now the next person that asks I expect you to tell them in a sarcastic tone- just like what I just did!! YUP… same thing happened to me… ??

    I could give you a sarcastic answer aswell, but I don’t know my English that well. So I just say it:)

    If you look in the code I posted, you’ll see that
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    is already there… ??

    What I’ve noticed: when I use the default WP-theme, I also get this message?!
    I’m using WP on my pc (WAMP), not on a server, and validate it with “Firefox Web Developer offline validation”

    DOHHHHH! See that I did not…. goober I am…

    yup… got a good puzzle there… I don’t have a clue.

    Seems like I have a problem with my Web Developer Validator then, or with WAMP. ’cause when I copy&paste the code from my html into the w3.org validation, it gives no problem.

    Thanks for the efford, it’s kinda solved right now ??
