 * Your plugin is using an aria-label in an unsupported way. On line 166 of /includes/
   shortcodes/class-ctl-loop-helpers.php there is an aria-label applied to the div
   surrounding the timeline items title with an aria-label set to 2. That is an 
   invalid use of an aria-label and causes our site to fail accessibility checks.
   I have a filter applied to your shortcode right now that removes the aria-label
   and now our site is passing accessibility checks. Can you remove the aria-label
   in your code?

 * Hi [@foomagoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/foomagoo/),
 * Thank you for reporting this issue, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
   You
   are correct that the previous use of `aria-label="2"` was not accessibility-compliant.
   We are preparing to update the code to the following:
 * $output .= ‘<!– ‘ . $this->tm_type . ‘ Title –> <div class=”ctl-title ‘ . esc_attr(
   $title_class ) . ‘” role=”heading” aria-level=”2″>’;
 * This applies the correct ARIA heading structure.
    Please review and confirm if
   this aligns with your accessibility checks. We will include the fix in our next
   update.Thanks & Regards
