Content template css indexed by google

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem

I created a Content Template and added extra CSS code.

When I inspect the elements on the Front End, I see this CSS code is added inside a style element on the head of the page.

This style element has a “style” or “type” attribute which is not needed according to the latest W3C HTML markup recommendations.

How do we fix this?

Mr. DJ

The css of content templates are loaded in the header like this:
<style style="text/css" media="screen">
I think it has to be like:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
Now the custom css of content templates is indexed by google.

True, it's strange, and I agree, it should be the attribute "type", not "style".

Let me report this to the developers as a bug.

Mr. DJ

Thanks!

Fixed the issue temporarily by changing the following line:
/wp-content/plugins/wp-views/embedded/inc/views-templates/wpv-template.class.php:1070
Changed the style attribute into type attribute.

We have an erratum for this now:

Please let me know if you encounter any other issue I may help with.

Please, can you confirm that the erratum works for you as well?

Mr. DJ

Just updated to the latest version 2.2.22 (cleaned cache also).
When i inspect the page with chrome developer tools i still find 'style="text/css"' inside jquery scripts:

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
	var extra_css = $( "#views-extra-css" ) ? $( "#views-extra-css" ).text() : null;	if( extra_css ) {		$( 'head' ).append( '<style style="text/css" media="screen">' + extra_css + '</style>' );
		$( "#views-extra-css" ).remove();	}
	$( 'head' ).append( $( "#views-extra-css-ie7" ).html() );
	$( "#views-extra-css-ie7" ).remove();});

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
		$( 'head' ).append( '<style style="text/css" media="screen">' + $( "#ct-extra-css" ).text() + '</style>' );
		$( "#ct-extra-css" ).remove();});

Yes, as said you need to apply an erratum:
