Frequently Asked Questions

How do I view if PHP Tidy is working on my site? Once you have installed and published PHP Tidy Plugin, view the source of your page. There will be a comment in the source that tells you if Tidy is working or not.

Is the xHTML always xHTML Compliant? Unfortunately not. It will fix broken tags and attributes, however it will not replace tags such as <font> with valid xHTML tags.

Does Tidy Clean my CSS also? No, unfortunately not. We will be releasing a plugin that will do this however.
