Hi Andrija,

Many thanks for your response.

The accessibility test was carried out using https://wave.webaim.org

I have created a temporary url for a page containing the accessibility failures that I have explained in the previous posts above. This link will expire in 5 days. https://www.temporary-url.com/6260F

You will see that for every coblocks lightbox on the page there are a host of accessbility failures for missing alt tags for the button images and also the lightbox navigation buttons are considered ’empty’. I will let you run your own test with webaim.org so you can reproduce. When the lightbox option is disabled in the block, the errors go away.

Kind Regards
Paul

Hi gdandrija,

I would rather not disclose the site if that is ok? I think the issue is with the lightbox element. Although lightbox is hidden with aria tags it fails validation.

1. gallery lightbox buttons are ’empty’ or have no value text.
2. lightbox/gallery navigation button images (svg) have no image alt text

The outcome of this is that on a page with three galleries the page shows 12 accessibility errors on validation.

I realise that the entire gallery lightbox is hidden with aria but is that really needed. Could the plugin not use an accessible lightbox rather than hide it?

Would love to hear your feedback.

Kind Regards
Paul
