• attributes “st_url”, “st_title”, and “displayText” do not validate at W3C. this is a big issue and I will have to use an older version of the plugin until this is fixed.

  • in sharethis.php rename the .js file in this line to .php $opt_js_location=$plugin_location."wp_st_opt.js"; found on line 458

    then rename the file wp_st_opt.js to wp_st_opt.php

    here is my wp_st_opt.php file
    note the script reference on line 1 and line 124 and the php edit on line 77

    it validates for me. hope that helps

    I made these same changes and it made no difference, except for messing up sharethis’ admin screen.

    This post on Sharethis’ own support forum seems to indicate it was a programming choice and that they intentionally dropped validation:
    W3C Validator error.

    Astoundingly sloppy!
