Problems with accessibility compliance?

    I’m a long-time user of MC4WP and find it way easier to use than MailChimp’s native embedding feature. But there’s been better enforcement lately of accessibility requirements, and when I run MC4MP’s embed through accessibility checkers, it doesn’t 100% validate. Specifically, each field gets the error “A form control does not have a corresponding label”.

    Here’s an example of a page run through the WAVE accessibility checker. The form is partway down the page, and each red tag is a warning about that particular error.

    Is support of this accessibility requirement something that needs to be added in an update, or am I perhaps simply doing something wrong on my end?

    Hey @andrew-whitacre,

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    The way our form is set up, we do not add the labels automatically. However, since the HTML code can be modified of the form, you can add the labels in the form code. An example code is provided below.

    <label for="username">Click me</label>
<input type="text" id="username">

    If you share your form code, then we can share with you the changes you need to make.
