I figured it out!!
So here it is, I’ll explain it just in case anyone else hits the same wall:
So for my page titles I used button images that I uploaded to my media library. When I first entered the HTML code for the button into the title field, I did not insert the end carrot (>). As I was troubleshooting the issues with my browser errors, I DID go back into my pages and place the end carrot where it should be, then I saved my updates. You’d think this would fix the problem… WRONG.
I needed to go into my ‘menu’ control under ‘appearance’ and remove all pages from the menu, then RE-LOAD THEM. This fixed everything!
Thank you for your help though!
I saw the validator report, but how do I get to the source code to change it specifically?
I’m relatively new to this, any help is much appreciated. Thanks again
