    Hello, after a free test of my blog on http://nibbler.silktide.com
    I saw it reports php scripting within the html of my page as error. This comes from the html5 validator.

    Further my title is on the wrong place. This does the YOAST SEO plugin. And then a whole series of coding errors behind wp_head() or installed plugins that you don’t touch as user.

    Does this all mean one can better forget about SEO marketing with a wordpress site?

    Further how to deal then with php within html5? Does it have to be solved or just denied? The validator makes already a problem about the opening tag “<?php” and closing tag “?>” of “<?php wp_head(); ?>”.

    Validators can’t see PHP. They can only see the HTML generated by that PHP.

    <?php wp_head ?> is just fine. FWIW, wp_head is completely different from the <head> html element.

    Does this all mean one can better forget about SEO marketing with a wordpress site?

    No, lots of people run successful websites with WordPress, including making use of the Yoast SEO plugin. But website promotion is not all about SEO.

    You just have a lot of homework to do, that’s all.
