File Upload field produces error in Webaim Wave

I also just noticed this issue. First issue we’ve had ever using this awesome plugin. Is there a field in the form control I can fill in that would auto-populate this?

I am also having trouble with the file upload and aria-describedby. Has this plugin been abandoned?

I also utilize Divi Accessibility and WP Accessibility plugins and am trying to figure a way to replace the ARIA reference somehow.

I think this is likely a Gravity Forms issue.

We are also seeing that the form field is not wrapped in a fieldset specifically on the “fileupload” field type.

Looking in gravity_forms_wcag20_form_fields_plugin.php (v 1.7.2) I do currently see logic for “aria-describedby” in the if ( 'fileupload' == $field_type ) loop, but don’t see any logic for adding the fieldset in this loop. Is there a recommended fix to address this?

Oddly enough – I switched to Contact Form 7 so that I could use the File Uploader and have it be accessible. I tried Ninja Forms, Caldera, and of course Gravity Forms. I’d prefer to use GF but that field throwing an accessibility error is a dealbreaker. So … I recommend you try Contact Form 7.
