I'm using plugin wpDiscuz but it's not accessible. Is there a simple way to upgrade it as full accessible ?

For example, clicks are on "span" but not in "a" or "buttons"....

Thanks

There is no Accessibility issue in wpDiscuz, all should be accessible. I think you have JS error on your website and it affects wpDiscuz buttons. They don't work. This is not a accessibility issue. make sure you don't have Jetpack comments activated, it should be disabled. Delete all caches before checking it.

Also please leave website URL to allow us debug JS errors.

I have just done an accessibility audit of my site and there seem to be some serious accessibility issues with WPdiscuz

  1. Th text area for comments does not have a label, and therefore needs an: aria-label to make it accessible to screen readers. (<textarea id="wc-textarea-0_0"placeholder="Join the discussion"required="" name="wc_comment"class="wc_comment wpd-field"></textarea>)
  2. You have also used: aria-hidden=”true” for most of the other functionality in this section, such as ordering comments by newest, oldest, notifying of future comments by email. This means these features simply don’t exist for users with assisted technology.
  3. Most of the features, including reply, share etc, have also been taken out of the tab-index so they are not focusable and you can’t access them if you are only using a keyboard.
  4. The text contrast also doesn't meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio.

I now realise you can access those sections and why they have been taken out of the tab index. Apologies.
