• This is the first in a series of validation errors I’m getting with a theme that I’ve developed. I’ll add more in this thread as I come to them.

    #  Error  Line 164, Column 23: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
    
    <div class="more-link">Continue reading &raquo;</div>
    
    ?
    
    The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
    
    One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
    # Error Line 165, Column 3: document type does not allow element "p" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
    
    <p></a></p>

    Thiss seems to be being genrated byt the following code in the index.php of my theme:

    <div class="entry-content">	
    
    			<?php the_content( __( '<div class="more-link">Continue reading &raquo;</div>', 'your-theme' )  ); ?><!-- .more-link -->
    
    			<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'your-theme' ) . '&after=</div>') ?>
    
    		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

    I can’t seem to track down the closing tag that seems to cause the second validation problem.

    any suggestions gratefully recieved.

    I’ve managed to get rid of the validation error, it breaks how I want the link to be displayed though (on a line of its own on the left at the bottom of the post extract):/
