Comments on: How to Create a Page that Displays a Random Post in WordPress http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-page-that-displays-a-random-post-in-wordpress/ Beginner's Guide for WordPress Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:58:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: John Rocheleau http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-page-that-displays-a-random-post-in-wordpress/comment-page-1/#comment-7868 John Rocheleau Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:07:37 +0000 http://www.wpbeginner.com/?p=1027#comment-7868 Solution: There wasn't an extra closing tag for a div as indicated in validation. The openings and closings all equaled out. The validation check generated that error notice due to a previous issue in the page with a call for an Adsense ad block. I had commented it out --perhaps not completely -- because it was still generating a closing tag for a script that was not open to begin with. That caused the validation to erroneously indicate the extra div closing. It took a while to track it back, but it all works fine now in any browser after deleting that commented out Adsense call line line (didn't need it anyway). The page validates much better now with no div error remaining. Thanks again for your help. You steered me in the right direction. :-) John Solution:

I thought I went over that template page carefully, but I guess not. I assume you meant the extra div being closed prematurely is on the template page I created. Must run out for the day but will go over that when I return. Thanks again :-) Thank you for checking that out. I thought I went over that template page carefully, but I guess not.

Oddly enough it does render ok in Chrome on my local version (local server) but not on the live version. You can test it out for yourself if you go to my site and click on the Random Moments Icon in the sidebar or the menu item. Any thoughts? Hi,
