Run the validator again and take a look at line 138.
This is how it looks:
#li
#li id=”linkcat-2″><h2>Gode sider</h2>
#ul
The first li is empty, and it isn’t being closed, neither is the second one.
A guess would be that the ul should be inside the first li
Thank you eridan – I can see that – but how do I fix it?
The Validator doesn’t tell me where this code is generated…

Look in your theme’s sidebar file for <li id="linkcat-2"><h2>Gode sider</h2>.
It’s in your sidebar, so it would be in the Sidebar template file. What you actually need to do is just delete that spare <li> tag that’s floating around by itself.
<li>
<li id="linkcat-2"><h2>Gode sider</h2>
<ul>
Needs to just be:
<li id="linkcat-2"><h2>Gode sider</h2>
<ul>
It looks like there may also be an extra </li> after the “Gode sider” list as well. You need to delete that, too.
So,
</ul>
</li>
</li>
Will need to be changed to:
</ul>
</li>
Thank you very much! I thought so too that it had something to do with my sidebar.php but it doesn’t look the way you describe… instead I have this fellow:
?php get_links_list(); ?
OK, so I figure it has something to do with this “?php get_links_list(); ?”-thing… But I have no idea what to do about… any suggestions?
No. The php get_links_list actually outputs a list. You can’t do anything about that. The problem is that you have an extra pair of <li></li> tags wrapped around the get_links_list tag and you just need to delete them. (I think…the thing is I can’t actually see your code, just what it outputs – I don’t see that php template tag, I see the actual list it produces.) Look for a <li> just before the <php get_links_list();? > and delete it. Then look for a </li> just after it and delete that also.
It is actually a problem related with the \wp-includes\links.php
I’m not sure if this will affect anything other than the validation problem, but simply deleting/commenting the <li id=linkcat- > and its corresponding (@line 548) in that file can solve the problem.
