I have a similar, perhaps related problem – most tag and archive pages don’t display properly – any pages that have tables or use the plugins NextGen Gallery and video embedder don’t display the tables, images and videos – instead you just see the short-code or HTML. You can see examples on my blog by clicking on most archive or tag links, such as:
my photography tag or this category page. These pages and post display fine if you click on the actual page or post, but not through the category, tag, or archive links. If you click on the same post via the “recent posts” widget, everything displays fine – as in these two examples:
Here is the page displayed properly using the recent posts link and here is the same page when visited using a tag link (it’s the second post on that page, but you can see that none of the pictures or videos display properly).
Anyone have any idea why or what to do about it? Maybe I need to redo the permalink pages? I tried switching permalink structure, but that just made the pages go away entirely…
Hi
You have a number of validation errors seen on
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://blog.davehebb.com/category/portfolio/
Some of them are for mismatched closing tags. That type of error frequently creates the sort of issues you are having. The error would be in the template files you are having trouble with. The ones that work correctly are most likely coded correctly.
The most significant errors on the validator list are the last ones. Check the box for Show Source, and revalidate – you can then correlate the line # in the error to the HTML source code and get it cleaned up.

Wow, thanks – I never thought it would be such a basic coding error, but when I saw the code displayed on the page, I should have realized it was because of an open tag – I wonder how this happened? I did not create those pages myself – they were generated automatically by WP or maybe my theme – I’ll try to find the actual page that contains the code in my root directory and fix the errors – hopefully it will stay “fixed” and WP will not regenerate the errors.
