Add your skip link to the sitemap? I’m not sure I understand that; do you mean add an additional link in the skip links section that links to your site map?
Yes. On my site https://dandelionwebdesign.com/ using your plugin I have set the keyboard tab to offer a link to the full site map.
But on http://homecomfortcanada.com/ I can’t. I don’t get the option in your plugin to set the sitemap url. I just get a notice that skip links are built in and I don’t see a way in the theme to do this.
Is this important for accessibility? I would think that it is very helpful.
It *can* be helpful, but it depends on the site. It’s available as an option in WP Accessibility because it might be necessary, not because it’s always a benefit.
It’s only valuable if you have a site that’s on the larger side or if the main navigation menu doesn’t reflect a significant percentage of the pages on the site.
Even then, you don’t need to have the Site Map link in the skip links; having a link to it as part of the menu will also work.
When a theme already has skip links incorporated, WP Accessibility isn’t going to also add it’s own, as that could be more confusing – two completely separate sets of skip links are unlikely to be beneficial.
Thanks Joe
I’ve added this to the header file so now it is working for me.
<a class="skip-link screen-reader-text" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/sitemap' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Site Map', 'kuorinka' ); ?></a>
