I figured it out. It’s in the posts themselves that I am making the error, in how I am indenting the paragraphs.
How in the world do I go about fixing all these errors mentioned in the validation report, and what could have caused all of this?
Thank you SO much, Chris!!
It only worked if I saved as “archive.php” instead of the plural, but other than that, the fix was golden!

^ This should help. ^
I’m currently trying to do the same to my archive and search result pages only, but my code is written differently and I’m not an expert.
