Accessibility Issues

Hello,

When checking the theme for accessibility, I thought you had a good start here but not completely perfect yet.

1. The search bar at the top of the page is missing the following.
– Search submit button.
– Do not rely on placeholder text to give instructions, add it under the search form like this.

<form>
<label for="search">Search</label>
<input type="search" aria-describedby="search-desc" id="search" name="search" value="" />
<span class="SCREEN READER CLASS HERE" id="search-desc">Type here and press enter to search.</span>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

2. There are icons that are not hidden. Please add aria-hidden="true".
3. Add more contextual information for screen readers. If there is a list of tags, add some screen reader text before the output that says “Tags” or “Categories”. Just more guiding information to help with keyboard navigation.

Those are the 3 main issues I found. I am testing with NV Access and latest version of Firefox.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.
