Title: Problem with validate hooks Last modified: October 1, 2020 --- # Problem with validate hooks * Resolved [devell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devell/) * (@devell) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-validate-hooks/) * Hello. It is impossible to validate hooks, wherever I add the header and footer according to the instructions, the validation does not work. Perhaps the theme is not compatible? Theme Scape. I don’t see wp_body_open () in header on theme. Maybe this is the problem? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-validate-hooks%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-validate-hooks/#post-13481029) * Hi [@devell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devell/) * Correct, in that case your theme is not compatible without manual changes. You could try to add `wp_body_open()` right after the tag and see if that works. * Is the theme on the latest version? If not, please try to update first. It’s also a good idea to report this to the theme author since adding this function to the `header.php` is recommended by WordPress core. * Cheers, Jory * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-validate-hooks/#post-13484646) * Hi [@devell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devell/) * Looking at your link it seems that you fixed the issue so I’m closing this topic! * And please consider leaving a nice review, it will help the plugin grow 🙂 * Thanks!
