 * Hi, It seems like the Slick contact forms cause a validation error by the official
   W3C validator. When I enter [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=fabienmischler.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=fabienmischler.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
   I get the error “Element div not allowed as child of element ul in this context.(
   Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
    ” How can we fix this? I would
   need this for a school project and I need 0 errors as w3 validation. I can see
   that this DIV is created below a UL element. Thank you for your help! Lionel

 * I found the error.
 * add line 275 from file inc/dcwp_admin.php one shortcode:
    - That’s it.
       Common guys, the code must be W3 strict.
    - However, amazing plugin otherwise!
