Is there a way, at least, to turn off the use of these genericons and not break the site?
Hi!
Where are you validating the site to get this error? I’d like to see the exact error for myself.
Also, note that failing validation for things like this isn’t always a big deal; some validation tools are super-strict and don’t allow for experimental things which have yet to be made officially part of the CSS guidelines.
Ok, I see the error too. I think it might be caused by the CSS minification plugin you have installed, Fast Velocity Minify. I think it’s causing some concatenation that the validator isn’t liking.
But my question to you is, so what? What problem are you trying to solve? Is anything on your site not appearing as expected? If there is no actual problem, then in my opinion, you don’t have to worry about passing the validation.
no it’s not an actual problem, but as you might know google prefers valid CSS: https://www.hobo-web.co.uk/official-google-prefers-valid-html-css/
Please file this at https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues so you can get credit for the report, or we can file it for you if you’d like.
The good news here is that Google doesn’t actually run your site through any validators. Valid code ensures there are no blockers so that the bot can effectively crawl your site, and this particular instance would not be a blocker since search bots don’t download webfonts (like Genericons).
@macmanx @richardmtl thanks for your time guys! James, I don’t care about the credit, thank you anyway 🙂
best regards!
