 * Hi Sgouver, what theme are you currently using? Have you tried to test one of
   WordPress default themes like Twenty Thirteen?
 * Have you also tried to disable all your plugins except this one and enabled one
   by one to see if a plugin is causing an issue?
 * Kind regards

 * Hi,
 * The stylesheets for the slideshow are loaded in the website’s footer by default.
   This approach isbetter for your website’s perfomance, but it will raise some 
   W3 validator warnings.
 * If you prefer a W3 validated website over the perfomance you gain, you should
   go to your WordPress dashboard and go to the slideshow plugin’s “General Settings”
   page. There you’ll find the “Stylesheet location” setting, which you can set 
   to “Head (Top)”. After saving the settings, the slideshow will load its stylesheet
   in your website’s head.
 * Best regards,
    Stefan

 * @mrrsolution I use Customiz’it theme, and i have checked that from 16 errors 
   I receive with the slideshow active, I reduce the errors to only 3 when i disable
   it. So, the slideshow is not the only issue but it cause the most problems, according
   to W3C validator.
 * [@stefan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefan/) Boonstra I will try your
   suggestion but do you think that the 3W validator is overreacting regarding the
   slideshow issues, should i leave it like this ?
 * Update : changing the stylesheet from bot to top i reduce the errors from 16 
   to 14…its something 🙂

 * Hi,
 * It’s unlikely that these validation errors will cause any problems on any browser.
   I prefer the perfomance advantage over the W3 validation myself.

 * Ok then i will leave it in bot as it was by default.
    thank you very much.
