Title: WP Mobile Menu causes validation issues Last modified: July 23, 2017 --- # WP Mobile Menu causes validation issues * Resolved [databell96](https://wordpress.org/support/users/databell96/) * (@databell96) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/) * I’m trying to complete the theming to my clients upcoming redesign and I noticed a bunch of validation issues withb improperly nested tags ([https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fvps30689.inmotionhosting.com%2F~myclar5%2Fbefore-and-after%2F](https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fvps30689.inmotionhosting.com%2F~myclar5%2Fbefore-and-after%2F)). I noticed the majorty of them relate to code coming from WP Mobile Menu. Basically, they start right where my footer.php has and then your plugin add a closing whee no starting div or ul exists to close it. After temporarily turning off the plugin, the issues went away. But they shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Is there some way to correct this dilemma? I want my code to validate as much as possible and I certainly don’t appreciate these nesting issues.

You know exactly what specific div is not closed? * Thanks -Rui * Thread Starter [databell96](https://wordpress.org/support/users/databell96/) * (@databell96) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/#post-9351155) * No, I don.t. Basically, your plugin added an extra which started out your code, so it really was trying to close something that doesn’t exist. * Plugin Author [Rui Guerreiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takanakui/) * (@takanakui) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/#post-9351216) * I see, thanks. Guess I found this line that doesn’t make sense and it’s probably causing that. * `$output .= '';` * It’s the line 116 in the file mobile-menu/includes/class-wp-mobile-menu-core. php * Or replace that file by this one [https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xsb56ce3e08gj8/class-wp-mobile-menu-core.php?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xsb56ce3e08gj8/class-wp-mobile-menu-core.php?dl=0) * Can you give it a try?

Things like: - No li element in scope but a li end tag seen. - Element ul not allowed as child of element ul in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.) - No li element in scope but a li end tag seen. * These comments existed previously. * Thread Starter [databell96](https://wordpress.org/support/users/databell96/) * (@databell96) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/#post-9351801) * I just noticed this for each and every menu item in the code: * `

It’s adding an extra to each and every link somehow. * Plugin Author [Rui Guerreiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takanakui/) * (@takanakui) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/#post-9352756) * Thanks. Manage to replicate that in my dev server. replace the file class-wp- mobile-menu-walker-nav-menu.php located in mobile-menu/includes/ by this one in the link below. * [https://www.dropbox.com/s/bbxe38ibyxs4t5o/class-wp-mobile-menu-walker-nav-menu.php?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/bbxe38ibyxs4t5o/class-wp-mobile-menu-walker-nav-menu.php?dl=0) * -Rui * Thread Starter [databell96](https://wordpress.org/support/users/databell96/) * (@databell96) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-mobile-menu-causes-validation-issues/#post-9355738) * Yes, that seemed to have helped a lot. Almost there and thanks for the assistance so far. * One more nesting error. Seems this isn’t closed either: `
