    I am LOST on the exact place to go to , to fix Validator Issues ?

    My site : (http://iamdentistry.com/)

    Validator: ( http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fiamdentistry.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices#line-532_

    The example problem:

    Line 532, Column 1921: No space between attributes.

    …olor: #;”>Fitness</sp…

    Ok So I use wordpress. Line 532 is helpful only if I know how to get to like 532 ! lol

    My issues :

    1.) Even though it says no space between attributes line 532 , I still don’t see the problem ?

    2.) How on earth can I get to this problems location via FTP ( or wordpress dashboard if that’s easier or possible) ?

    Thanks for any help

    The actual error is not related to the value of the background color, but to the fact that there is actually a space missing:

    ...<span class="category-label"style="background-color: #;">Dentistry</span>...
    

    Which should be:

    ...<span class="category-label" style="background-color: #;">Dentistry</span>...
    

    Although it’s wrong, it’s not too bad. I don’t think it’ll do much harm if you leave that in. Use the validator as a guideline to fix errors, but don’t aim for a 100% score. It’s nice if you have that, but it’s very ok if you don’t.

    Thanks for the replys ! :-) But Where would I go to fix this issue ( even though you said it wont cause harm) I would like to learn how to find the location ?

    You should use an editor (Sublime Text would be perfect for this) that can look for a string in all files in a folder.

    Then you search for "style to see if it’s on the code somewhere.

    If not, it’s the result of a plugin/addon that manipulates code when the page is built and doesn’t do it properly, like @Ed said.
