 * Heya o/
 * I need help with the free version of the flat theme. I get a error while validating
   the website with W3 Validator.
 *     ```
       Error: CSS: Parse Error.
       From line 74, column 252; to line 74, column 261
       page > .container { bac
       ```
   
 * The whole source code this error refers to should be:
    `<style type="text/css"
   >#page:before, .sidebar-offcanvas, #secondary { background-color: #25242a; }@media(
   max-width: 1199px) { #page > .container { background-color: #25242a; } }body {
   background-size: initial; }</style><style type="text/css">#masthead .site-title{
   font-family:Amatic SC}body {font-family:Roboto }h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {font-family:
   Roboto Slab}#masthead .site-description, .hentry .entry-meta {font-family:Roboto
   Condensed}</style>`
 * I’ve searched with google about other websites using this theme and the error
   appears there as well.
 * I think the problem could be somewhere in the flat.min.css file but im not sure.
 * Can anyone help me with this?
 * Thanks in advance =)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcss-parse-error-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
