  • if you check “show source” when you validate – it will give you clickable line numbers that show you where the problem is

    like so

    Ok, I got that. But where in my WP blog do I apply these corrections? I was searching through editor in the Themes files and couldn’t find anything that looked like what was in the validation report.

    right, no one is apparently able to point us to the source code. It is somewhere in database but how to find it?

    I know exactly what should be done or can find the answer, but can not find any article about finding a place where the code resides.

    No, only some of it is in the database. Anything that occurs in a post, comment, text-widget, or page (if entered from the admin edit forms and not written into a template file) is in the database, along with things like post meta-data and stuff I’m not remembering most likely. The rest is in the theme’s template files– and there are hundreds(?) of templates–, or is generated by functions called in the template files, or is generated by plugins. ‘How do you find it?’ is a near impossible question to answer except on a case by case basis. Mostly, for the front end, you should be digging around in wp-contents/themes/<yourtheme>/.
