Annoying validation killer

    Howdy, site in question is in my name (not entirely SFW)

    For the life of me I cannot find where this errant li tag is being included from.

    It’s the code just before the “Pages” H2 in my sidebar. Something is throwing <li class="pagenav"> in there which causes it to fail validation (unnested tag).

    I can’t find it in my theme’s sidebar.php, page.php, index.php or the default theme’s similar pages.

    Where is this coming from?

    You have to post up your sidebar code. I’m thinking there is a line in there somewhere, probably in the PHP code that has an li in it. I can’t view the PHP source of your site and without seeing the PHP, it would be extremely difficult to trouble shoot it.

    <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
    <?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>
    <h2>Styleswitcher</h2>
    <?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
    <?php } ?>

    That is what’s before it and this is the line that loads the Pages menu. If I remove this line it get rid of the error, but it also gets rid of my page menu :/

    <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?> `

    I’m thinking maybe a plugin you have running that “accesses” the sidebar might be the culprit. Try deactivating your plugins to test…

    Try changing your wp_list_pages() to the following:

    <h2>Pages</h2>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
    </ul>

    That’ll remove the extra list tagging going on.
