If you test websites for accessibility issues, you are likely used to identifying issues and making recommendations at the level of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Conversely, if you are a website owner and you get a third-party accessibility audit, the issues and recommendations in the report will likely be at the level of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
However, if you use WordPress, code-level recommendations may not be that useful to you. In WordPress, your website is generated by combining together many different components including WordPress core, your theme, plugins you may have installed, media you may have uploaded, and your individual pages and posts. That means remediating accessibility issues in WordPress is not as simple as “edit this line of code here.”
In this talk, we will learn how to remediate accessibility issues on a simple WordPress site using a classic theme. We’ll discuss how to identify where a specific issue comes from, whether from the individual page, from a plugin, or from the theme. We will discuss how to fix page-level, plugin-level, and theme-level issues, and we will remediate some of these accessibility issues together in real time.
