 * We are using the Quality Blue theme,
    and when pushing it through w3c validator
   we noticed a few improvements. Like adding a alt tag to an image and making sure
   a certain span is always closed.
 * I did the adjustments myself, and can also reply with the files and before/after
   lines of code.
 * But is it also possible to amend the code somewhere in a repository, so that 
   the changes are not lost when I update the theme?
 * Kind regards
    Edzo

 * Hi
 * 1. If you want to update the theme? After update the theme your customize code
   will be lose.
 * or
 * 2. After update the theme you want to rename automatically your image Alt & Title
   tag. You can use this plugin.

 * Hi edzob,
 * If you’re customizing a theme (that’s what I understood…) then it’s a good idea
   to create a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and customize
   that, so whenever the main theme is upgraded, your customized changes are not
   lost!
 * Hope that helped!

 * Hi Yogesh & Imran,
 * thanks for the help
    the child theme is a thing I will look into to store our
   own changes on the theme. Thanks for this tip 🙂
 * But there are also fixes like
    – adding a missing alt-tag. – placing a </span
   > outside an if function so that the <span> is always closed. So these are more
   bug fixes for the existing theme. Is there a way to propose the fixes to be added
   to the theme?
 * Kind regards

 * Hi Imran,
 * It’s not visual, it about html syntax
    1 example:
 * File: index-blog.php
    **Old Code**
 *     ```
       <div class="qua-blog-post-detail">
       <span><?php _e('Posted By Admin','quality');?>
       <?php if(get_the_tag_list() != '') { ?>
       </span><i class="post-seperator"></i>
       <div class="qua-tags">
       <?php the_tags('',' , ', '<br />'); ?>
       </div>
       <?php } ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * **New Code**
 *     ```
       <div class="qua-blog-post-detail">
       <span><?php _e('Posted By Admin','quality');?>
       </span>
       <?php if(get_the_tag_list() != '') { ?>
       <i class="post-seperator"></i>
       <div class="qua-tags">
       <?php the_tags('',' , ', '<br />'); ?>
       </div>
       <?php } ?>
       </div>
       ```
