WordPress XHTML validator

WordPress XHTML validator in action

Have you noticed how hard it is to keep your blog compliant with standards? Through the WordPress XHTML validator, getting to comply, staying compliant, having valid HTML in your WordPress blog and going Section 508 is a breeze.

This tool is also bundled with Turbocharged for WordPress. Need support? Buy it and get other plugins, themes and support for free.

The WordPress XHTML validator analyzes and validates your entire weblog, and then shows you a list of invalid entries, explaining why each one is invalid and offering valid replacements. The analysis process is very fast: analyzing a weblog with over 400 posts and 2000 comments takes less than one minute.

Hey, you! Yes, you! Did you like this plugin? Want to help WordPress users get Truly Valid? Spend 60 seconds joining the Truly Valid campaign and help make the Web a better place!

This plugin will automatically validate any post or page you edit, notifying you of any validation issues.

This plugin also latches itself onto the Manage section of the WordPress administrative interface, and, when invoked, scans all posts, pages and comments, validating each one.

It requires xmllint or tidy, which do the heavy lifting, installed on your Web hosting server.

To use:

  • ensure the server has the xmllint or `tidy` commands installed (having both is doubleplusgood!)
  • install and activate the plugin
  • access the Manage panel in the WordPress administrative interface
  • click on the XHTML validation tab

This plugin is now fully compatible with WordPress 2.1.
