Open Graph error w3c can not solve

**diamond1** · 4 May 2015, 05:24 PM

I have just a mistake there is no attribute "property <meta property="og:locale" content="us_US" />

this is my english.php

PHP Code:


define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="ltr" lang="us" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#"');

this is my html_header.php

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>>
<head>
<title><?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?></title>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<?php  
if ($_COOKIE['ResCookie'] != "full") {
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css') . '/bootstrap-responsive.min.css" />';
}
?>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="it_IT" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $canonicalLink; ?>" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php echo STORE_NAME; ?>" />

I read many pages but I can not find a solution
Thanks for the help

Your DOC Type is wrong for the tags, but even still opengraph tags are not going to fully validate in W3C.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Ummm who said you CAN'T change the doctype??? You can if you NEED to.. You just have to make sure you re-validate your site, and make the corrections needed..

That said, despite what some may think, the W3C validator is not the FINAL authority on site validation.. It is a tool that will help you find and squash the most common HTML mistakes..

Melanie is right. Open Graph tags are not going to validate using the W3C validator.. not because they are WRONG, but because the validator doesn't recognize them. Validate your Open Graph tags with Facebook and if they validate there, and the rest of your site validates using the W3C validator, then you're GOOD..

Melanie thanks, I just a mistake to Open Graph, if I remove the Open Graph meta tags of the site passes validation, if change in doctype <! DOCTYPE html> I have many errors is the site does not look good I need someone to forso is able to enter the <! DOCTYPE html> and make riparaziono. One other thing Melanie at this point you should leave the metatatg Open Graph and have a single mistake, or remove the metatag is to have 100% w3c validation?

Gonna repeat this...
