Widget headers are a problem for block widgets and in general

  • The sample page has a sidebar whose contents are as follows:

    • A “Widget block” containing: the title “Recent posts” (not a separate block, but an attribute of the widget block), and a “Latest Posts” widget
    • A “latest posts” widget which is not in a widget block.
    • A Header block (h2) – Subscribe link.
    • A Categories widget whose title property has been set to “Categories”.

    Here are the problems I see with this:

    • The heading level used for widgets is not consistent. The widget group title renders as h2, whereas the categories widget title is h3. It should be consistently h2 — not h3 — to comply with accessibility requirements as regards document structure (“don’t skip levels”).
    • The styling for h2 in a sidebar widget is too large a font and too much spacing above.
    • The styling of the links in the two Latest Posts widgets is inconsistent.
    • The spacing below the first latest posts list, and above and below the second list, is excessive.

    Thanks for the feedback. In the next theme update, all widget titles will use h2 instead of h3, and the styling would be made consistent as well.
