Access Key/Title attributes give WAVE warnings
-
Hello – The plugin works great but gives 2 ‘Access Key” and 14 ‘Title Attribute’ warnings in the WAVE accessibility-check utility. 1 Access Key warning on this:
<button type=”button” class=”wahout aicon_link” accesskey=”z” aria-label=”Accessibility Helper sidebar” title=”Accessibility Helper sidebar”>
Alternative text
</button>I turned on Remove All Link Titles in options but the plugin itself gives WAVE warnings (14) for having Link Titles, e.g.:
<button type=”button” class=”wah-action-button wahout wah-call-highlight-links” aria-label=”Highlight Links” title=”Highlight Links”>
Highlight Links
</button>Also the plugin gives 1 ‘fatal error’ (Very low contrast error) for the ‘Accessibility by WAH” link
Thank you for any help you can provide. I tried looking at your official documentation link but it returned a 404.

Hi Sharon,
thank you for your feedback.Basically, “Remove All Link Titles” means that you can remove all title attributes from the links, not buttons. Probably in the next plugin version I will add this feature to the buttons also.
We will fix the button title description in the upcoming update.
Accesskey is not an error, it is an alert. Our access keys are very useful for many users.
“Very low contrast error” it depends on the font family of your website. It is a credit link to our website, and we tried to insert it with a minimum place to hold. So, I think this alert is not really important (we do not want to increase credit link font size ).
You can access our docs here:
