Multiple Navigation Roles WCAG guidelines

    I am in the early staging of building a site. My site must meet WCAG standards. I chose the Neve theme because it is listed as accessibility ready. I have used several testing methods and I am getting an ARIA landmark error for the navigation. The fae.disability.illinois.edu tester gives me a detailed description of the error:

    – div[role=navigation]: NAVIGATION Primary Menu Violation: Update the landmarks on the page such that the navigation landmark is not contained by the navigation landmark. Depending on the content in this landmark, consider moving it outside the navigation landmark.

    -nav: NAVIGATION Violation: The navigation landmark should NOT contain the following landmark: NAVIGATION.

    I have my wp core and theme up-to-date. Also I get this error even when I have all plugins deactived and custom css removed.

    Any advice on how to resolve the ARIA landmark issue?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @misswinters,

    Sorry for the late reply and thank you very much for taking the time to test out the accessibility readiness of the theme.
    Although we made extensive efforts to meet the guidelines it seems some might have slipped and we’re sorry for that.
    I’ve passed on your test findings to the dev team and asked them to look into it so it can be fixed in an upcoming update.

    Thank you for your understanding.
