Accessibility Issues with Plugin

    Hello we are working on improving our sites accessibility rating and are having issues with some errors created by the jobs plugin. I’m hoping that you can help me in determining best route to fix it.

    The main offenders are that the search form “This form does not contain a submit button, which creates issues for those who cannot submit the form using the keyboard. Submit buttons are INPUT elements with type attribute “submit” or “image”, or BUTTON elements with type “submit” or omitted/invalid.”

    And that the Location, company name and post date do not have enough contrast for screen readers, “This element has insufficient contrast at this conformance level. Expected a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, but text in this element has a contrast ratio of 2.85:1. Recommendation: change text colour to #767676.”

    I am curious if this something that would be able to be fixed and released, as I don’t desire to make changes in the plugin and have them get wiped or cause issues when future releases are made and we update our version.

    Please let me know what you advice.

    Thanks,
    Tim Records

    Hi!

    For the Button issue, I’ve opened an enhancement request here:

    Thanks for raising it! I don’t have any suggestions for fixing it, though, unless you’re willing to recode how the form is put together.

    For the contrast issue, you can fix that through CSS by changing the colour of the element to #767676 or something else, as they mention. You can add the CSS directly to your theme, or by using WordPress’s Customizer.
