Hi everyone,
Quick heads-up on overlay widgets like AccessYes: they only put a band-aid over the front end. Screen readers and audit tools look directly at the underlying HTML, so overlay plugins won't fix structural WCAG errors.
Since you have 15 specific violations and a tight deadline (4/24), here is the most practical way to tackle them:
Identify the source: Check if the flagged elements are coming from your active theme, a page builder, or specific plugins (like form builders).
Fix the quick wins:
Add descriptive alt text to images in the Media Library.
Adjust text colors in your theme settings if contrast is too low (aim for 4.5:1 ratio).
Ensure all input fields have proper <label> tags or aria-label attributes.
Inspect key site areas: Errors usually live in global areas like your header, main navigation menu, or footer template files.
If editing theme PHP/CSS directly feels out of your comfort zone, your best bet is reaching out to a WordPress developer to clear those 15 audit lines. For a experienced dev, fixing 15 defined AA errors usually only takes a few hours.
You may use alt text; there is no issue with it.
