    I read the previous question on this same topic, but the answer didn’t point to a workable solution.

    In the web stories checklist, I get a message under Accessibility to “Increase tap area size to at least 48X48p.

    Where do we change the size of the link area to 48 X 48p? I assume it must be near the link icon, default text, link address, etc, but I don’t see it.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @fromourhideaway thanks for getting in touch. This message will be referring to the links you have placed on text within your stories. Links need to be at least 48×48 large. You can find more information on this here: https://web.dev/tap-targets/.

    For example you can see below my text link that is initially too small but when making it larger the warning message that you are seeing goes away because it then meets the size requirements.

    It’s also worth noting here that the link on page 3 of this story interferes a bit with the pause/play controls at the top.

    Hope this all helps but do let me know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you for your helpful response. My link is plenty long. I think my problem might be that it isn’t tall enough. To make it tall enough, it would be too long. Perhaps I’ll need to work out a different design.

    @fromourhideaway You’re very welcome and yes that should work for you. I will mark this topic as resolved but please do let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
