hi again,
i’ve just tried checking one of my pages on the W3C validator, and it’s shown lots of errors relating to the edited code as above. I’ve tried to fix it but it all appears in html so I can’t see what to fix in the php code.

i’d really appreciate your feedback regarding this – if you input http://trevorpenfold.com/about-tp/ as the url into this site http://validator.w3.org/ it then throws up this list of errors:-

Line 320, Column 40: No space between attributes.
…				<a href="http://wordpress.org/"target="_blank"" title="Semantic Persona…

Error Line 320, Column 55: No space between attributes.
…"http://wordpress.org/"target="_blank"" title="Semantic Personal Publishing Pl…

Line 320, Column 55: Saw " when expecting an attribute name. Probable cause: = missing immediately before.

Line 320, Column 102: Attribute " is not serializable as XML 1.0.
… title="Semantic Personal Publishing Platform">Proudly powered by WordPress</a>

and

Line 320, Column 102: Attribute " not allowed on element a at this point.
… title="Semantic Personal Publishing Platform">Proudly powered by WordPress</a>
Attributes for element a:
    Global attributes
    href
    target
    rel
    media
    hreflang
    type

Any ideas??

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the link – really helpful and I’ll have to try and work out how to use it myself!

I’ve changed the first Child theme error, namely

75 body, input, textarea Value Error : font-weight 550 is not a font-weight value : 550

so that the value is now 500, which seemed to be a valid option. but still no change…

OK – thanks. The only possible similarity with this is that the page was initially saved as a ‘private’ page and was only changed to ‘public’ a day or so later.
cheers.

Hi Bloke and viky081,

Just to let you know that it now works!
I tried both of the code options you suggested, including some extra edits/guesses by me – all with no effect whatsoever… Then i thought I’d try it in a child footer.php file, rather than my function.php file in my child theme – and BINGO – it worked first time! I’ve only tried Bloke’s one for this, and have removed an extra ‘.’ before the semi-colon after the taget=blank edit.

So I’ve copied the whole footer.php file and then edited it – as I wasn’t 100% sure if I could only put a part of it in with the edits. So it now looks like this:

</div><!-- #main -->
	<footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo">
			<?php
				/* A sidebar in the footer? Yep. You can can customize
				 * your footer with three columns of widgets.
				 */
				if ( ! is_404() )
					get_sidebar( 'footer' );
			?>
			<div id="site-generator">
				<?php do_action( 'twentyeleven_credits' ); ?>
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'twentyeleven' ) ) . '"target="_blank"' ; ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyeleven' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
			</div>
	</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- #page -->
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>

…though I’m slightly confused as to why the footer.php file has the above html in, as I thought php files weren’t meant to have any in and the main functions.php file has none in.

if you think I can cut anything out to make it less cluttered I’d be interested – and hopefully it’ll be useful for others too?

Many thanks for your help and support.

Happy New Year!

Hi,
any help with this would be really appreciated…
Thanks.

Brilliant! Thanks very much Mike – I searched through the settings once I’d updated, only to find that you’d set it up as the default!
Thank you – so easy for us!

Any ideas from anyone??
Thanks.

I’ve found the bit of style.css that needs editing to give the site map menu (generated by enhanced-menu-editor plugin and inserted into page using show-menu-shortcode plugin) – just in case anyone else needs it…

html, code {
	font: 16px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
}

That’s in Twenty Eleven theme – and you obviously put whatever you want re: font size/style.
