So, some shareaholic tags won’t validate, but they are not technically errors– more info here: [http://support.shareaholic.com/hc/en-us/articles/200470616-W3C-Validation-with-Shareaholic-Meta-Tags](http://support.shareaholic.com/hc/en-us/articles/200470616-W3C-Validation-with-Shareaholic-Meta-Tags) * [roxanegunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roxanegunn/) * (@roxanegunn) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html5-validator-error/#post-5009380) * Regardless of whether or not it causes any errors, I don’t want any invalid code in my sites. Please fix this shareaholic. You guys are smart and I’m sure you can come up with a cleaner way of achieving what those meta tags do. * [Wonderful Wanderings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wonderful-wanderings/) * (@wonderful-wanderings) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html5-validator-error/#post-5009381) * Same validation errors for my blog * [devinemily_shareaholic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devinemily_shareaholic/) * (@devinemily_shareaholic) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html5-validator-error/#post-5009382) * [@roxanegunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roxanegunn/) – Reasonable! However, for context, any site that uses FB meta tags even will get the same errors. That said, we are in the process of trying to get our tags approved. I don’t know when/if this will happen, but we are working on it 🙂 * [jbericat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbericat/) * (@jbericat) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html5-validator-error/#post-5009396) * Hey b…b, * I have the same problem. I noticed that google can render my site (www.holisticwellnessproject. com) if I switch back to my former wp template, so I suggest you to look also for errors in your template with the validator. In my case it was a search box I included into the template’s header (it was detected by the validator). * Hope this helps! * Plugin Author [Shareaholic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shareaholic/) * (@shareaholic) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html5-validator-error/#post-5009398) * Hi [@jbericat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbericat/) [@b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/b/)… b [@roxanegunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roxanegunn/) [@wonderful](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wonderful/) Wanderings * [http://validator.w3.org/](http://validator.w3.org/) should no longer return warnings for [Shareaholic related meta tags](https://github.com/shareaholic/shareaholic-api-docs/blob/master/shareaholic_meta_tags.md).
