Oh yea, the part of the above code that is in the bold print is the part that I edited.
Hi
Could you post the whole sidebar code please? It looks like your sidebar code goes something like this:
<ul>
<li>
Some stuff
</li>
<li>
Some more stuff
</li>
</ul>
It ought to look more like this:
Some stuff
<ul>
<li>
Links etc
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Header</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Links etc
</li>
</ul>
You’ll find it validates then. With the centre tag you need to place that in the css. So if you don’t want to centre (sorry I have to spell it like that I’m English) the whole sidebar use a class to centre that element. Something like this:
.centrethis {
text-align: center;
}
It gets a bit more complex with centring other elements. Post the code I’m sure we can help.

Sorry about the previous post, I didn’t realize it recognized my code above as html, so I will try again to repost my sidebar code…But since last night I’ve managed to get rid of most of the errors I was getting when I tried to validate my code, but I still have 2 errors that I don’t know how to fix. Here is my sidebar code, any help is appeciated.
<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<li>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</li>
<?php /* Menu for subpages of current page (copied from K2 theme) */
global $notfound;
if (is_page() and ($notfound != '1')) {
$current_page = $post->ID;
while($current_page) {
$page_query = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '$current_page'");
$current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
}
$parent_id = $page_query->ID;
$parent_title = $page_query->post_title;
// if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_status != 'attachment'")) {
if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_type != 'attachment'")) {
?>
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php echo $parent_title; ?> <?php _e('Subpages'); ?></h2>
<ul class="list-page">
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } } ?>
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><img src="images/cat.gif" alt="categories"/></h2>
<ul class="list-cat">
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php get_calendar(); ?></h2>
<ul class="list-calender">
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><img src="images/archive.gif" alt="archive"/></h2>
<ul class="list-archives">
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2>
<ul class="list-blogroll">
<?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', '<br />', FALSE, 'id', FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<!–/sidebar –>
Don’t post long code here: nobody can (and will) read it.
Use http://wordpress.pastebin.ca
as for “center” as an error: in XHTML has been deprecated, and most WP themes are XHTML.
Thank you for posting that link. (the only reason I posted my entire code was because the person who was trying to help last night asked me to). I removed my calender code which was this….
<li>
<h2 class="sidebartitle"><?php get_calendar(); ?></h2>
<ul class="list-calender">
</ul>
and now my site validates again. Could you please tell me the correct calender code? Also should I start a new post since all those codes are in the way?
