XHTML Validation error

Today i realised when i checked my site for XHTML validation that i am failing due to duplicate rel='nofollow' attributes.

Result for http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/index.php - W3C Markup Validator

I will most proberly just edit these templates and remove the duplicate attributes but was this caused or added by vbseo?

you are only allowed one attribute of any given tag. if you wanted to use multiple rel's, you need to put them in one tag, like this:

Code:

<... rel="foo bar" />

vbseo DOES add rel tags to some links per the CP option. You CAN disable it, but I would suggest you remove them from your template, and let vbseo parse it out instead.

Briansol, I never added these attributes to my tags, i know how to fix it but was just posting to let vbseo know incase this is a bug.

My question is, why did vbseo add duplicate attributes to my template, maybe it was added when i upgraded to vbseo 3.0.0 while in the install upgrade process.

The tags are added on-the-fly so it wouldn't have been added to your templates at any point by vBSEO.
