 * Close the `<p>` before opening the `<ul>`
 * That should do the trick

 * Check [this](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeenat.com%2Farchives)
   now.
 * The problem lies in the plugin that I am using for monthly archives. If you want,
   I can post the code here…

 * No to code. We can see it on your site.
 * `<h3 class="pagetitles"><strong>Live Archives</strong></h3>
    <p><!-- begin php--
   ><br /> <div id="af-ela"></div> <!-- end php --></p>
 * Change it to:
 * `<h3 class="pagetitles"><strong>Live Archives</strong></h3>
    <p><!-- begin php--
   ></p> <div id="af-ela"></div> <!-- end php -->
 * If you need a paragraph tag within the DIV then add an open and closed tag.
 * Change this in your `sidebar.php` template file.

 * Ugh, some new type of error. Could you please [check](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeenat.com%2Farchives)
   again?
 * Thank you.

 * I am sorry Lorelle but could you please shed some more light on this? I don’t
   know how to fix it. This is what I am entering in my Archive page in WP.
 * `
    <h3 class="pagetitles"><strong>Live Archives</strong></h3> <phpcode> <?php
   af_ela_super_archive(); ?> </phpcode>
 * I tried tried putting `<"p">` beside `<phpcode>` but then the plugin won’t show
   up.
 * Ignore the errors for now, I guess.

 * You need to change some of the code in the actual plugin.
    As Lorelle has said,
   you need to find this: ` <p><!-- begin php --><br />` and change it to ` <p><!--
   begin php --></p>` but look in the plugin code.

 * Okay. The plugin that I was using that allowed me to use PHP had some problems.
   So I had to switch it to another one. The page is valid now.
 * Cheers.
