 * I updated the amp plugin on Feb 19th to version 1.4.4 and now the Google search
   console is showing the following validation errors for almost all of my posts.
 * The text inside tag ‘style amp-custom’ contains ‘CSS !important’, which is disallowed.
 * CSS syntax error in tag ‘style amp-custom’.
 * The tag ‘img’ should be replaced with an equivalent ‘amp-img’ tag.
 * Never had any issues before.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffeb-19th-update-causing-validation-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi. Where is this CSS code coming from:
 * `.sh-dropcaps { font-size: 48px!important; font-weight: bold; margin-right: 15px;
   line-height: 1; float: left; margin: 25px 35px;}`
 * What theme are you using?

 * Interesting, I haven’t changed anything.

 * Is that CSS code located in that theme? Since it is from Theme Forest we are 
   limited in how much support we can provide.

 * Thank, I am trying to work with the theme support folks to see if we can get 
   it corrected.

 * I did some digging myself and cannot find that code in any of my css files. It
   looks like it is only created after the AMP plugin is installed and activated.
 * I absolutely can be wrong and I am probably going about the wrong way of finding
   it.

 * [@vonedaddy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vonedaddy/) The validation errors
   appear to be coming from your theme. You’ll see from [this example](https://gillion.shufflehound.com/2018/02/24/tips-trick-for-healthy-glowing-skin/amp/)
   some of the validation errors match your own site.
 * The syntax error is as a result of no colon as you’ll see [here](https://i.imgur.com/MseVTTs.png).
   There are also comments in the markup, which is not permitted in AMP.
 * Your theme developer should be able to assist with these errors.
