 * The code on lines 235-239 need to be changed as the <label> element is closed
   prior to the <input> statement
 *     ```
       <div>
       					<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . _x( 'Search for:', 'label' ) . '</label>
       					<input type="text" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" id="s" />
       					<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'submit button' ) .'" />
       				</div>
       ```
   
 * Should be changed to
 *     ```
       <div>
       					<label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . _x( 'Search for:', 'label' ) . '
       					<input type="text" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" id="s" /></label>
       					<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'submit button' ) .'" />
       				</div>
       ```

 * Hi DaveWP196 have you considered posting a patch? 😉

 * Accessibility is important, I think it’s more valuable than worrying about supporting
   old versions of web browsers. If you submit a patch and it get’s accepted then
   you’ll be helping a lot of other users.
