WCAG Compliance

  • I’m trying to correct the items that need to be corrected to bring our website into compliance with WCAG 2.0 Level AA. I have a piece of code which shows up as:
    <a id="sidebar-menu_4277_link" href="" target="_self"></a>
    I know that I need to enter some text just before the </a>, and I can find the code when I do View Source on the page where this sidebar menu is, however I have no idea how to access the actual file where this code is produced to enter the required text.
    Unfortunately it is an output from using CodeCanyon’s WP Boxer Pro, which we used extensively on our site, and which is now defunct and no longer supported. I only have 6 of these items to resolve to clean up the Known Issues for compliance, so I’d love to be able to find the code, as it seems easy enough to fix, if I can just find it. I tried Chrome Developer Tools, and I can see it in the Elements tab, but when I go to the Source tab, again, I have no idea where to begin to look for it. Thanks for any help that anyone may be able to offer!

  • Have you tried a search across files? Consider searching for the string <a id="sidebar-menu or perhaps target="_self"></a> to see if you get any hits.

    Also, consider gutting the target attribute and making sure that the href value is not blank.

    @jseth, Unfortunately we don’t support commercial themes or plugins on these forums. You need to raise this with the people who built the software.

    Thank you both for your replies. Unfortunately therer seems to be no support for the plugin any longer, so I just removed the offending sidebar widgets and styled regular text widgets to be WCAG compliant.
