You just edit the code – if necessary – and then view the results in your sidebar. What’s in the register_sidebar function? It also might be worth dropping a copy of your sidebar template file into the [WordPress pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/) in case the issue is in there. * Thread Starter [rhythmofthecosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhythmofthecosmos/) * (@rhythmofthecosmos) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validation-wordpress-cant-find-code/#post-1208989) * Am sorry, I don’t follow.. * From the source of my site * I have the following code * ``` flickrBadge({userId:'39535358@N02',rows:4,cols:3,size:60,transition:'fade',tags:'',magisterLudi:'709bdbf9ed2f4312a1e3c53fda29d85a'});

Saves filling up threads with large blocks of code and actually makes the code easier to read in some cases. * I can see that the register_sidebar function in your functions.php is fine. No problems coming from that. * Checked your sidebar and that’s also OK. Just to stop this being a useless exercise, I’ve dropped a very slightly amended copy of your sidebar.php into [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1562248](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1562248). Tweaked an image alt & title text and your Donate link to give you slightly better SEO. * In the meantime, I’ve gone back to your Home page and narrowed the error down to the flash-flickr-badge-widget. It’s this widget that is generating the faulty markup. The options are: * 1. Stick with it and wrote the error off as “not fixable” 2. Find another similar plugin/widget that doesn’t produce validation errors 3. Edit the plugin yourself. 4. Report the error to the plugin author. It’s documented as producing valid XHTML, so he may well be interested in sorting any any problems. * [http://www.erik-rasmussen.com/blog/2006/09/14/flash-flickr-badge-widget-for-wordpress](http://www.erik-rasmussen.com/blog/2006/09/14/flash-flickr-badge-widget-for-wordpress) * Thread Starter [rhythmofthecosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhythmofthecosmos/) * (@rhythmofthecosmos) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validation-wordpress-cant-find-code/#post-1209015) * Ahhhh.. wicked.. * many thanks for your help… * I shall have to find another flickr sidebar widget then to clean this up..
