# Generates invalid markup

 * The plugin currently generates invalid markup ([duplicate attributes](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/simple-social-buttons/trunk/simple-social-buttons.php#L725))
   for several buttons (e.g. the Whatsapp button).
 * This may accidentally work in some browsers, but depends on undefined behavior
   and breaks other plugins that expect conforming (well-formed) HTML markup.

 * [@sharaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sharaz/): So you are part of the
   support team of Simple Social Buttons? 🙁
 * That should have been disclosed in the other thread. I’m not sure why you had
   me analyzing _your_ code instead of having one of your own developers perform
   some due diligence.
