When I used to post the You Tube links directly on the page, they did not have this issue. However that posed problems for other users as my site would crash browsers on their phones with so many You Tube links on a page, so I decided to embed the video links instead.
Do you know of any commands or workarounds that would assist blind users with this issue? The link I’ve provided is to the most recent page on my WordPress.com site.

In appearance> Menus dashboard, I pressed Enter on “Screen Options”, hoping there might be an “Accessible Mode” just like the Widgets page that has an accessible mode in “Screen Options”, but as much as I tried with JAWS, NVDA, JAWS Cursor and NVDA Object Review, I could not expand the screen options. It is always collapsed, so I could not access those options. This problem did not exist in the previous versions of WordPress. Of course, I know the “Accessible Mode” option does not exist in Menus dashboard, it exists in Widgets dashboard only.
I use JAWS 2020 and NVDA 2020.
Suggestions:
a. Accessible mode: Please add an “Accessible Mode” to the screen options of menus editor, just like the Accessible Mode in the screen options of Widgets Editor. Also, test that button with screen readers so to make sure it works with JAWS and NVDA.
b. Desktop app: I wish there was a desktop app that allowed me to rearrange large menus with many items fast and easily with keyboard.
3- Accessibility Problem when rearranging and reordering menu items:
When we have only a few menu items, blind people can easily rearrange/reorder those items by clicking on the item and pressing “move up/ move down”. However, most of the times our website has so many items with parent-child hierarchical structure. This makes it so tedious and time-consuming for a blind person to arrange the menu items. For example, if they have a menu with tens of items and sub-items, when they add a new menu item, it goes to the end of the long list. They need to press “Move Up” tens of times in order to bring the item to a proper position under a proper parent item. Every time after pressing “Move Up” link, the cursor focus changes, and they have to find “Move up” link again and again.
Suggestions:
a. Rearranging via comboboxes: Just like the Widgets editor, When they press Enter on a menu item, instead of “Move up/Move Down” links, they should see two comboboxes: parent item, position. This way, they rearrange the item position so fast and easily.
b. Parent item: Among all types of menu items (Post, page, custom link, category, tag, etc.) there should be a new critical type called “Parent item”. Parent menu item is a neutral link that has sub-items (children) in the hierarchy. It is not linked to any page or post, and it goes nowhere when clicked. It just expands/collapses in order to show the sub-items. This is better than adding a custom-link and then converting the custom link to a parent-item.
Thank you
]]>I use NVDA. I tried to work with the date and time pickers with JAWS too. Neither screen reader worked. I cannot change the values. I can write them in, but, nothing is changed when I do this. If this could be addressed, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Any help I can give you, I will. Ask, tell me what to do, and I will do it.
]]>I downloaded and installed the events manager plugin. It works well, except for the datepicker when trying to set up an event. I cannot cause the date to change. I use a screen reader, NVDA. I’d love it if it were possible to get the developers to fix this issue. This plugin is fantastic otherwise.
