Title: XHTML W3 Validator Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # XHTML W3 Validator * Resolved [petekkia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petekkia/) * (@petekkia) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xhtml-w3-validator/) * Hi there, in recent weeks I’m trying to make compatible my blog with W3 XHTML validator. It started reporting 89 errors, and change after change, I decreased them to 4 and 1 warning. But now I really don’t now what to do, because i don’t understand where i must look for them, either plugins or WP code or articles’ html. * Now the errors are: * The website is [http://www.leoclubrc.it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xhtml-w3-validator/www.leoclubrc.it?output_format=md)( the source code is still the one not validatable). * ``` # Error Line 615, Column 26: end tag for "body" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified ✉ # Error Line 615, Column 25: XML Parsing Error: Premature end of data in tag html line 2 ``` * Can someone tell me where and what have I to change? Thanks! Fabrizio.

It worked… Can I ask you another question? There’s a warning which says: * ``` Warning Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File. The Unicode Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files is known to cause problems for some text editors and older browsers. You may want to consider avoiding its use until it is better supported. ``` * Do you also know how to fix it?
