 * Hello Everyone,
 * I have seen several topics about w3 validation but none are general enough to
   help. All seem to be about their code. What I need to know is how to find the
   lines to edit and fix the issues in wordpress. I could post my code in backticks
   but then it wouldnt help people that need general guidance… and I have thousands,
   literally thousands of errors spanning hundreds of pages.
 * What file would i find line Line 67, Column 10: ?
 * ‘<noscript <img height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=”” style=”display:none” src=”[https://ww…&#8217](https://ww…&#8217);
 * or Line 142, Column 132: ?
 * “…state+%7C+The+Domain+Realty+Group&link http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedomainrealtygroup.
   c…”
 * Do I look in the php files for the main theme or the child theme? And if not 
   there, where do I find the files w3 is talking about? Can I get to them through
   the wp backend/edit tab or do I have to FTP into the host and download them?
 * Should I copy the code from the wp edit panel into a text editor like NotePad
   + and then try to edit the errors?
 * How to I find columns when it isnt annotated in the php files?
 * I am completely lost please help.

 * There is no easy answer to this. You need to start working through your theme’s
   template files to find the relevant code that generates the invalid markup.
