W3C validation error: "Attribute name not allowed on element meta at this point."


Any idea what this issue means and how I can fix it in WordPress?

Error: Attribute name not allowed on element meta at this point.

From line 211, column 2; to line 211, column 54

</div>↩   <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">↩  </he

Attributes for element meta:

Global attributes

  • name
  • http-equiv
  • content
  • charset

Solution

  • You have a div tag in the head of your document, that will cause an error.
