Description

Hi,

In looking to validate one of my sites lately I have seen a number of things that might need to be tweaked to try and prevent them failing or producing errors.

The main one I have noticed for now is the amount of duplicate ID's that get created - in this particular case the widget function in default-widgets.php I have had to use unset($argswidget_id?); which is not ideal at all, to get round this issue, is there anything we could do to get a patch for this in the future?

Thanks,

Harry

  • Summary changed from W3C validator possible changes to Widget ID attributes not unique

Widget IDs are usually unique and numbered in ascending order. So if you use the recent posts widget twice you'll get recent-posts-1 and recent-posts-2.

Can you tell us which IDs where not unique? Also try to disable all plugins and switch to one of the default themes to see if it goes away.
