      I am stumped! I have two validation errors left to correct. Unfortunately, they impact many pages.

      1.
      ERROR: epub9.epub/OEBPS/j83643-Flower-Fairy_-epubBody-1.xhtml(26,162): ‘OEBPS/image/illus010b_clip_blurb.png’: referenced resource is not declared in the OPF manifest.

      It is in the manifest under images. It is also listed in the images in the image folder. I checked j83643-Flower-Fairy_-epubBody-1.xhtml and it is in there as well. So What do I do next. This error message is given for most of the images. The scanned images with long names are ok.
      I see no difference in their context.

      2.
      Then the error messages changes for the same images: WARNING: epub9.epub: items (OEBPS/image/illus010b_clip_blurb.jpg) exists in the zip file, but is not declared in the OPF file. I don’t know why the semantics changed. Next it gives this error for some of the audio and smil files.

      If I could fix one example for each type of error, I could fix them all. I have checked the image, audio, smil, and xhtml files. They are listed in all of them and in the content opf.

      Hope someone out there can help me,

      “The src attribute must not be empty”
      “referenced resource missing in the package”
      “referenced resource is not declared in the OPF manifest”

      These three errors will usually be displayed together. The root cause is a missing image, video, or audio asset.

      First, check your ebook media settings in “Settings” > “ebooks”

      If any of these checkboxes are unchecked and you reference a media asset of that type in a section template, epubcheck will generate an error. Because Atavist does not control section template markup directly it does not remove markup put into a section template. To fix it, do one of the following:

      If you do NOT want media assets in your ebook files: remove the <audio>, <video>, or markup from your section template; or

      If you do want media assets in your ebook files: check the corresponding media checkbox in the ebook settings panel shown above. Note that this might include other media assets in other places of your ebook as well.

      Hope this helps!
