 * Hi,
    i’ve an error while validating html accessibility (in HTML5): **Element 
   link is missing required attribute property**
 * `<link rel='stylesheet' id='eo_front-css' href='http://##/wp-content/plugins/
   event-organiser/css/eventorganiser-front-end.min.css?ver=3.0.2' type='text/css'
   media='all' />`
 * It seems to be caused by the fact that the stylesheet is loaded in wp_footer 
   instead of <head>.
 * Regards

 * This is a non-issue (see [http://stackoverflow.com/a/18552152/932391](http://stackoverflow.com/a/18552152/932391)).
 * The stylesheet is loaded in the footer (which is allowed in HTML5) simply because
   it’s not possible for the plug-in to know in advance (i.e. when WordPress is 
   rendering the <head>) that it will be needed (e.g. for shortcodes, widgets etc).
 * For the stylesheet to be in the `<head>` would required it to be loaded on every
   single page, regardless of whether it is required or not.
 * You can of course turn off the plugin stylesheets altogether and include them
   in your theme.
