How To Validate Your Wordpress Code

Whether you are thinking of creating your own theme or using a free theme, it’s worth validating the code. Messy code creates problems for Search engines crawing your site/blog, which may cause problems with indexing. This simple 2 step process will find any problems:

Check the XHTML:

Enter each of the pages of the theme into the XHTML validator page

Check the CSS:

1) In your browser, click on “view > source”

2) Find the address of the style sheet which looks something like this:

yourblog.com/wp-content/themes/Theme-Name/style.css”

3) Enter that into the CSS Validator page
