Here’s the fix for that:

Open the template-functions-post.php file in wp-includes and find this line:

$output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a href="' . get_page_link($page_id) . '" title="' . wp_specialchars($title) . '">' . $title . '</a>';

Change it to
$output .= $indent . '<li class="' . $css_class . '"><a href="' . get_page_link($page_id) . '">' . $title . '</a>';

That removes the title tag from the a href and gets rid of the validation errors.

I wouldn’t. I would whip it out in Photoshop in about 45 seconds. A lot faster than changing the CSS layout of a bunch of divs.

But do you have a different suggestion?

This was not a full fix but I at least was able to format the date in a slightly more pleasing way by truncating the time off it:

in wp-includes folder find templates-functions-general.php and loook for the
} elseif ( 'postbypost' == $type ) { section which formates that post by post archives results.

This is what I changed it to (I don’t remember how much of it I changed so compare to your file:

=====START OF CODE=====

} elseif ( ‘postbypost’ == $type ) {

$arcresults = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date < ‘$now’ AND post_status = ‘publish’ ORDER BY post_date DESC” . $limit);

if ( $arcresults ) {
foreach ( $arcresults as $arcresult ) {
if ( $arcresult->post_date != ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’ ) {

$shortdate = $arcresult->post_date;
$dateresults = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS ‘year’, MONTH(post_date) AS ‘month’, DAYOFMONTH(post_date) AS ‘dayofmonth’ FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date = ‘$shortdate'” . $limit);

$date = sprintf(“%02d-%02d-%d”, $dateresults->month, $dateresults->dayofmonth, $dateresults->year);

$url = get_permalink($arcresult);
$arc_title = $arcresult->post_title;
if ( $arc_title )
$text = strip_tags($arc_title, $date);
else
$text = $arcresult->post_title . “title”;
echo get_archives_link($url, $text . ” (” . substr($shortdate, 0, -9) . “)”, $format, $before, $after);

====END OF CODE====

The most important part is the substr($shortdate, 0, -9) near the end since that shaves the last 9 digits off the results getting rid of the time. Now my archives look like this: http://tinyurl.com/ze6xd which is not what I wanted but is acceptable.

Thanks. I was missing a
<ul> and it was wreaking havoc. The other problem I had was that using an excerpt inserts < P > breaks and that was causing problems. I switched to custom fields but I’d love to find how to remove the < p >s from excerpts. I’ve scoured the code but can’t find it.

NOTE: Could you remove the URL from your post? I don’t want the thread to appear on google searched for the URL (hence the redirect I used)

I haven’t solved this. I did however figure out how to truncate the time off it with substr($date, 0, -9) but the date still shows as 2006-08-24 which isn’t what I want. Any thoughts.

Thanks. Going through those threads and trying stuff on my own the only solution I can think of is to tell them to get rid of GoDaddy. I can’t believe how complicated they make things!
