Templates cause errors that designers can’t fix

    I like this Plug-in. It has helped me figure out a lot of what needs to be done. That being said some issues are because of the WordPress Templates that I can’t fix. An example is the search link, which always comes up as an error. There is always a blank space at the bottom of the page that I can’t remove and some other annoying issues that I worry will be flagged. I am wondering if the makers of this plugin could hold some kind of Zoom meeting or make a video for the WordPress Template developers and WordPress overall to fix those issues.

    I also would like to understand how other designers deal with wanting to have points that are in larger text that shouldn’t be H tagged but get flagged as misleading to the readers.

    Hi @isay81,

    Thank you so much for your review. As a non-developer, I agree it can be really frustrating when there are accessibility issues found in your theme or plugins that are difficult to fix. My approach to these issues is to open a support forum post or GitHub issue for the developer of your theme asking them to fix the issue. Sometimes they just didn’t know and if told that something is an accessibility problem will happily fix it.

    You can also point them to our free accessibility meetup as a place to learn about accessibility. These are Zoom webinars held twice a month on accessibility best practices. There are recordings available at that link from all the past meetups.

    Regarding large text that gets flagged as a possible heading, the intent of that warning is to have you confirm that it’s really just large text and not actually something that should be a heading. If it should be a heading, then you would fix it. If you know that you’re doing it right then you can “ignore” the warning.

    If you’re on Facebook, the WP Accessibility group might be helpful to you when you encounter issues in your templates that you can’t fix. People in the group might have solutions.

    Thanks again and have a great day. 😀
