Title: Validation errors in 'dns-prefetch' codes Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Validation errors in 'dns-prefetch' codes * [ivorysoap76](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivorysoap76/) * (@ivorysoap76) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validation-errors-in-dns-prefetch-codes/) * Here is an example, but I have quite a few. * Error Line 36, Column 43: end tag for “link” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”. * Anyone know how to fix these?

Read the validator report and carefully look at the html and php in your theme files. And make sure you have valid code in any post/pages you have edited in the WordPress editor. * That particular error you mention above can be fixed by unhooking DNS prefetch, but that can slow your site. Add * `remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_resource_hints', 2 );` * to your theme’s functions.php file. * But, you’re using Thesis, a premium theme not supported in these forums. So you need to get help from Thesis to edit their unique theme files.
