I have energyshop.se which is a webshop in wordpress but on a blank theme so it doesnt look like a blog.

I have only 1 validation output error when Im trying to validate the html through validator.w3.org and it reads like this:

Line 27, Column 54: Using the meta element to specify the document-wide default language is obsolete. Consider specifying the language on the root element instead.

But I have a head and meta like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>

Although if i inspect the page this row come later down, propably overriding the top one:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="sv-SE" />

But its not in any of my .php files but I think in <?php wp_head?> which is in the header.php

How do I edit that? Because I tried to remove it, but then other thing in my header.php disappeared which I needed. But then I got a clean validation too with no errors!

So whats the best solution for this?

have you tried searching your theme and plugin files for Content-Lang? – Milo Feb 12 at 3:19

if it's appearing in your document head and isn't in header.php, then it's being added by something hooked to wp_head. start with your theme's functions.php and look for functions hooked to the wp_head action. WordPress itself does not add this meta tag, it is your theme or a plugin. – Milo Feb 12 at 3:42
Found it in a plugins php, more spcifically qtranslates_hooks.php which is included in the qtranslate plugin! – Emanuel Olsson Feb 12 at 15:56
