Will you provide a link to your page, pls ?
first, no error displayin in my browser.
Secondly, w3c validation service says :
“Congratulations
The document located at <http://panserraiki.eserres.gr/> was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional. This means that the resource in question identified itself as “XHTML 1.0 Transitional” and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML, HTML5 and/or XML Parser(s) (depending on the markup language used). “
So what’s wrong ?
Forgive me, panserraiki.eserres.gr is the intro page and it is ok if you enter and see http://panserraiki.eserres.gr/blog/ has 13 and something errors caused by nextgen gallery because it doesn’t echo the alt attribute. Forgive for the incovenience and thank you Wazomba for your time.
No problem guy ! I can confirm that none my browsers shows any error message (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome).
But the W3C validation service reports the metionned 13 errors about alt attributes :
“No character encoding information was found within the document, either in an HTML meta element or an XML declaration…”
I’m not an expert in coding but here is what I can think :
It seems that the mix of greek language and english causes some minors problems. You should check your headers and make sure you’ve inserted the correct caracter encoding for your language.
Your theme is originally in english, and it may conflict with your language, especially with netxgen.
Review your translations or if you have a .po file, edit it with poedit and make the translations.
My feeling is that nextgen can not translate correctly the texts inserted in the alt attribute of image. Also check if somewhere, the ending “/>” is not missing at the end of an “<img src…” tag. (in nextgen or theme files).
But except for pure W3C validation, these alerts could be ignored as they do not impact your site quality or functionalities.
By the way, nice photos in fact ! 😉
I have corrected the utf and I’ve written the alt in English but the errors continue. May it is just an inconsistency of w3c validator. Of corse every html and css editor want their work to be successfully validated by any validator, but somehow we(in general,browser companies,internet consortiums,programmers etc) lost the real scope of all this….a big discussion here……anyway thanks you a lot for your time Wazomba.
Those errors are not actually caused by NGG, it’s the Nextgen Smooth Slideshow plugin.
But the nextgen smooth slideshow take the gallery to be displayed from the NGG thus the problem is in the alt attribute of pictures in the gallery.
So I thought that the problen start from NGG and the slideshow just execute it. Am I wrong?
Yes, you’re wrong.
Just like WordPress, NGG is made up of a core that process all the data and display them using templates. Nextgen Smooth Slideshow is basically a theme to display those processed data in a different way. The theme chooses not to display certain data has nothing to do with the core itself.
