I had to delete or deactivate several plug-ins do to HTML errors that they were causing along with CSS Errors. I would like to fix theses issues as I would like to use the plugins.

Once I deactivated several of the plugin’s all of the HTML errors disappered but the CSS errors posted remained. I followed the link you provided and there are still a number of errors in the CSS for the theme and plugin. Although I haven’t noticed any specific problems except one of the plugin’s anding a prowered by link (Some UK carpet company) below the actual footer. I am just concerned that these errors may be having some effect on getting the site listed more extinsivly than it is. I was also having a problem with the tracable social share icons plugin as the demensions of the icons was showing up in the posts above the icons. I would like My site to be as error free as possable. * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-validation-errors-in-the-default-theme/#post-2059746) * None of the remaining CSS errors should cause any problems whatsoever with search engine indexing/listing. * Thread Starter [canmandom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/canmandom/) * (@canmandom) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-validation-errors-in-the-default-theme/#post-2059811) * Thank you for that info. It may be asking to much for the plugins to be tested against the themes and all errors and warnings in the css and html to be corrected. I do not have the knowlage base to correct the problems myself at the moment.
