Title: "rel='https://api.w.org/' json" Noise Doesn't Validate Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # "rel='https://api.w.org/' json" Noise Doesn't Validate * Resolved [robin_dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin_dean/) * (@robin_dean) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/relhttpsapiworg-json-noise-doesnt-validate/) * * In layman’s terms, what exactly is this jargon which has riddled my entire site with invalid markup? * I’m capturing the buffer and removing it until I fully understand why I should sacrifice the w3c standard for … whatever this is.

And i think errors like this i didn´t see in the year 2016 on my websites. * For our customers we deliver only error-free results. So we don’t care too much about warnings also, but we want to get rid of all errors, too. * Can somebody check it? Maybe the last Update to 4.6 is the reason? * Thanks for WordPress! I love it! * [Thomas Kujawa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomas-kujawa/) * (@thomas-kujawa) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/relhttpsapiworg-json-noise-doesnt-validate/page/2/#post-6860061) * !!! * I’m getting the same message now “W3 Validator marks it definitv as an red error.” * I´m sure that on my last check two weeks ago, there was no error at all on my sites.

The W3C validator simply hasn’t been updated with this most recent, valid value.
