 * After the new upgrade to the new version 3.0 my website dont pass w3c validation
   with this erros:
 * Check there:
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.original-ms.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.original-ms.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3)
 * All this errors is caused by the plugin
    No Character Encoding Found! Falling
   back to UTF-8. Unable to Determine Parse Mode! No DOCTYPE found, and unknown 
   root element. Aborting validation. No Character encoding declared at document
   level
 * etc.. etc..
 * Is a bug of the plugin. In 2 websites I use the plugin is the same errors

 * Hey tettonline,
 * If you look at the actual output, you’ll see why. (Scroll all the way down).
 * [Validator output](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.original-ms.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3)
 * This is not really something I considered when adding the proxy check to the 
   plugin in 3.0. I’ll get a fix in the next version.
 * Thanks,
    Mike

   will be released, though.

 * Hey tetoonline,
 * This option is for viewing the debug output of the plugin. If you enable this
   option, you can [open your console](http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8525/how-to-open-the-javascript-console-in-different-browsers)
   to view exactly what the plugin is doing under the hood.
