Posts generating Empty Link Error

  • I manage a church website that needs to comply with UK accessibility guidelines.

    I run the WAVE extension and some of the posts on this page show an EMPTY LINK error.

    I have tried creating a new post and still, the error exists. I can’t find out how to stop this from happening as it isn’t all of the posts? But it definitely occurs in my test posts.

    I am very new to the ACCESSIBILITY issues and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks,

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

    I tested several of your individual pages, and I didn’t find any “empty link” errors.

    The only URLs that had this error are archive-type URLs, like the “news” page where your latest posts live, category archives, month archives, etc. The code for these kinds of webpages live inside your theme, and not the WordPress editor.

    The only way to fix this is to make code changes in your theme’s PHP files (perhaps via a child theme). But your site uses the commercial theme “zeeMintyPro” which we don’t have access to here at www.remarpro.com. This makes it impossible for us to offer you any further assistance here.

    Normally, we’d ask users in your situation to contact your theme’s author for help, as authors are in the best position to support their own products. But it appears your particular theme was retired by the author years ago.

    So instead of toiling to fill this leaky bucket, now would be the perfect time to find a new modern theme which has assessability as a top priority.

    Good luck!

    Hi George,

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. It was very helpful and made me realise where to edit the code and I just removed the offending line.

    The short term problem is solved and now I can get the Parish Council to organise a new upgraded ‘Accessible’ website.

    Thanks again
