Validation Warnings

Hi there

If I run my site through the W3C validation checker, it is almost perfect except for a few warnings generated because of mods, and yours is one if them. They are really simple to fix, so I would appreciate it if you could do this in your next up date.

Basically every time you use the script tag, for example:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://www.strmr.co.za/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/search-filter-build.min.js?ver=2.4.6′></script&gt;

You need to leave of the type attribute, so it would be this instead:
<script src=’https://www.strmr.co.za/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/assets/js/search-filter-build.min.js?ver=2.4.6′></script&gt;

There are a few places the script tag is used where the type attribute needs to be removed.

I have a feeling this is WordPress doing this, as we simply enqueue the files (but I could be wrong). This post might help you:

As a follow up, this is the code that would need to go in to your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function(){
    ob_start( function( $buffer ){
        $buffer = str_replace( array( 'type="text/javascript"', "type='text/javascript'" ), '', $buffer );
        return $buffer;
    });
});

You could use this in other ways:

$buffer = str_replace( array( 'type="text/css"', "type='text/css'" ), '', $buffer );
$buffer = str_replace( array( 'frameborder="0"', "frameborder='0'" ), '', $buffer );
$buffer = str_replace( array( 'scrolling="no"', "scrolling='no'" ), '', $buffer );
