I bought the membership because I love the designs but I am highly disappointed that all of your templates are having so many errors and not passing the W3C CSS Validator check.

JA Portfolio has 220 Errors and 3829 Warnings that’s a lot! So there’s the search engine optimization goes to the toilet.

I would like to know what I suppose to do with this because I cannot wait until God only knows when!

Thank you,

Margaret

Is this on a live site that you have created? Currently, JA Portfolio from the demo only has 11 errors and 1 warning and I am sure these errors will be fixed with the next release – http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joomlart.com%2Fdemo%2F%23templates.joomlart.com%2Fja_portfolio&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Sure it is. Here’s the website http://www.crystalcoasthousing.com
It’s runing on clean installation of JA Portfolio from Quickstart Package and in its original version. I didn’t change anything yet.

Ahh, I see.

Here is the html validation – http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crystalcoasthousing.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

As you can see, only 10 errors with 1 warning.

What you are looking at is the css validation. I will flag this up

Having said that I cannot find many sites without huge numbers of errors on the css test. For instance, http://www.bbc.co.uk gives nearly 3000 warnings and 19 errors. That is a huge site.

Phill,

Thanks again! I just realized I was using wrong validator and I have panicked. Still I wish to fix these errors and warnings. Are we allowed to do that or it will cause template collapse.
