   My site http://www.aapb.co.uk produces an error when validated using this tool

   http://validator.w3.org/

   When I remove the shortcode for the WOW slider the problem disappears.

   Thanks in advance for your help.

   The validator gives the following error:

   Validation Output: 1 Error

   Error Line 240, Column 4: No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.

   </p>

   It's not a part of WOWSlider code.

   When I remove the WOWSlider shortcode I do not get the error. When I put it back in the error returns. Is it something to do with how it interacts with the style?

   Thanks

   Slider is a block element based on div.
   According to specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/p.html#p) "phrasing elements" only should be placed in P tag.
   Div is not a "phrasing element", that's why slider should be placed outside the P tag.
   But you've inserted slider inside it and this causes the error.

   I think I have fixed it by putting the shortcode inside a <div> tag dont understand it fully but I think that the wordpress editor was putting the WowSlider stuff inside the <P> tags automatically.

   Thanks - you set me on the right path there.
