tag like this, so it looks like it sort of will* it really upsets stuff. * Better to
use it like this which looks odd when you do it but meansthat it validates. * Odd but true 🙂 * Thread Starter [lynne_ydw_i](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lynne_ydw_i/) * (@lynne_ydw_i) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135216) * Nope, it’s still not validating even putting everything on the same line.

`. Still, I don’t understand why this would cause a validation error. * According to your validation results, you have some ``s that aren’t properly closed. * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135222) * Edit: Deleted as actual solution was found by someone else. * [bubsatschool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bubsatschool/) * (@bubsatschool) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135223) * Nuclear — what is the purpose of the added ``‘s after the `

I’ve taken the space out and it’s still not validating. * BubsatSchool, the blockquotes are properly closed, whcih makes the error even stranger. * Thread Starter [lynne_ydw_i](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lynne_ydw_i/) * (@lynne_ydw_i) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135233) * I understand it’s probably an error on my part someplace perhaps in the css, but I can’t figure out what it is. * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135234) * Lynne did you address the issue I found? * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135237) * Edit: Actual solution found by someone else. * [bubsatschool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bubsatschool/) * (@bubsatschool) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blockquote-and-validation-problem/#post-135240) * Are the ``‘s AROUND the `

outside
* And you cant have `blockquotes` inside `p`s.
