* Hi,
* When using the gallery block and adding a caption, the following error is created
and visible when validating the HTML:
* Error: Element figcaption not allowed as child of element div in this context.(
Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)
* Here is a link to the results page of the w3 validator tool for a page displaying
the error:
* [https://validator.w3.org/nu/?showsource=yes&doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.heenecemetery.org.uk%2F#l393c7](https://validator.w3.org/nu/?showsource=yes&doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.heenecemetery.org.uk%2F#l393c7)
* Please could this be fixed in an update?
* Many thanks
Paul

* Hi [@icwdigital](https://wordpress.org/support/users/icwdigital/),
* Thanks for reaching out!
* I tried to test out whether I can get this issue on my test site using a couple
of different gallery options from CoBlocks, and couldn’t replicate the issue
with the captions in the HTML validator.
* Could you kindly specify which exact gallery block you’re using (Masonry, Stacked,
Collage, etc.)?
* Screenshots of the block that is causing this issue would also really come in
handy!
