 * Hey goalcore,

    It would be helpful if you could create
   an account on your site for us so we may take a look and see exactly what causes
   the problem.

 * Hi Curt,
 * We ran some tests and we could not replicate those errors.
    As far as we can 
   see, our plugin works properly (please check your email, we attached some screenshots).
 * Please send us screenshots of the errors you receive and tell us exactly when
   and how they occur.

 * YOP Team

 * I can’t send a screen shot through this forum or at least I don’t know how to
   do it. If you GO TO [http://validator.w3.org/](http://validator.w3.org/) and 
   type in my site; [http://www.goalcore.com](http://www.goalcore.com) you can run
   the test and see the errors first hand.
 * Thank you

 * Hi Curt,
 * If you see those errors in the code validator does not mean that our plugin doesn’t
   work properly. For example, the validator expects that the <style> should be 
   defined in the header, which doesn’t happen in WordPress.
 * The W3C Markup Validation Service is helpful if, for example, you learn HTML 
   or CSS and you want to verify the code you’ve written.
 * In addition, as you can see, your site was tested as HTML5 markup. Our plugin
   is not HTML5 ready yet. Depending on the doctype you choose, you will get more
   or fewer errors.
 * Best wishes,
 * YOP Team
