Title: missing root html tag Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # missing root html tag * Resolved [Bradleycorn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bradleycorn/) * (@bradleycorn) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-root-html-tag/) * It appears that the header.php is missing the opening tag (the closing tag is present in the footer). the doctype is declared, and then there’s a tag, but no tag. Whoops. Also, the language attributes are applied to the doctype tag. They should be applied to the (missing) tag instead.
