W3C errors

[Renz]

Hello All

I have around 6 of these errors:

Error Line 158, Column 68: & did not start a character reference. (& probably should have been escaped as &.)

index.php?main_page=redirect&action=banner&goto=26" target="_bla…

Does anyoneknow how I can find these and what I need to do to fix it.

Thanks
Regards

Try searching for the link using developers toolkit and narrow down where the code is located. It's difficult to fully help without a link but your site must be xhtml, so you need to include amp; after every & the same that has been done in your link...

banner&goto=26

Have you installed a url rewrite mod or a redirection mod?

Hi There

yes there is one......http://www.magneticone.com/store/Zen...en.Cart.module

Why?

Thanks

From what I can see from your code the errors seem to occur each time there is a redirect. So I am guessing the issue stems from a line of code in the mod. Have a look through the files for the mod and check where & isn't closed with amp; Maybe someone else can offer their 2 cents. If it was me I would be checking there first.

If you paid for the mod I am sure the developers may offer their help should you become stuck?

I think you have a similar issue to this...

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to help you fix it. I would suggest contacting the developers if you cant get a solution from someone here.

Well thanks for your help so far,

I have spoken to the people that sold me this module on more than one occasion about this issue, their response are:

1: Yes, all these modules are compatible with the last version of ZenCart.
2: Please note, that these are URLs like " index.php?main_page=redirect&action=banner&goto=26" target="_bla "
You can see that those are your banners URLs that redirect to the specific page. Power SEO does not work with the banner URLs.
3: Talking about the banner URLs, they have a redirect action.
And definitely this was not written/rewritten by our module, but should be manually set. Your web-developer can change it per your needs.

As this is a brand new install of Zen Cart, and it's not their module then all Zen 1.5.1 Vs have this issue right?

Uhhmmm

Not that I have encountered. I still believe it to be the mod. If you can't get satisfaction from the developers I wouldn't be downhearted. Even Google and Facebook aren't w3c compliant.

Some people have had the same issue with simple seo. I checked the support thread for that particular mod and the issue was resolved. I am not sure if the same can be applied to Power Seo, but I reckon it would be worth a go as I don't think there is much difference in the two mods. Of course backup first.
