Closing this bug as invalid b/c there is not enough details to isolate the problem.

We've already discussed this to death, and won't be serving up application/xhtml+xml anytime soon. Quick fix: change your DOCTYPE to be XHTML 1.0, not 1.1.

By the way, what theme are you using, which has the XHTML 1.1 DOCTYPE?

ok this is the weblog

(please check the error)

1) the bloginfo html_type shows text/html but the themplate has an

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

header. why? the default html type is XHTML. well i change this variable and replace the 

<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>

with the application/xhtml+xml Content-Type. but the validator shows that error (current state).

NOTE: the theme are based in andreas 0.8

  • Milestone changed from 2.3.1 to 2.5

W3C validation is not a severe symptom, no patch, no owner, so milestone 2.5 .

  • Milestone 2.5 deleted
  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from reopened to closed

I'm sorry, changing the meta tag does not change what the Content-Type actually is — it needs to be set in the HTTP headers. Please just take my advice and change the DOCTYPE to an XHTML 1.0 one, please.

This is not a WordPress issue, actually, this is completely theme-related, stemming from the fact that the theme is not telling WordPress the correct HTML type.

If you really want to use XHTML 1.1 still, then add the following to your theme's functions.php:

<?php

function xhtml_mime_type($s) {
    return 'application/xhtml+xml';
}

add_filter('option_html_type', 'xhtml_mime_type');

?>
