Accessibility Improvements Request
-
I recently discovered OceanWP and I am liking it so far. I am a blind blogger so accessibility is my number one priority when choosing a theme. With that said, I have a few suggestions which I hope that will be considered in future updates.
1. The search icon in the menu doesn’t have a text equivalent, so the screen reader is just saying ‘link’. I suggest you put the word ‘Search’ for clarity purposes. Speaking of the dropdown search, is it by design that there is no search button there?
2. Unlike in the single post navigation, the page navigation in the homepage also has empty link for the next button. I suggest you put the word ‘next’ and ‘previous’ for clarity.
3. While focused on the last field in the comment form which is in my case, the URL field, pressing tab would not bring me to the submit button. Instead it brings me somewhere far away from the form. I think the solution is the tabindex attribute.
4. I wish the Breadcrumbs navigation region had
aria-label="You are here"
. It’s a nice experience for screen reader users, I think. It is just a bonus if there is a title with a heading level…tag inside the nav with a screen-reader-text class.5. I don’t know if there is a reason for this, but I am wondering why the
<main
landmark wraps even the sidebar section. Is it possible to put the</main>
before the sidebar?6. Finally, and this is more of a personal request, it would be so perfect already if there is a way to wrap the logo image in a heading level 1 tag (homepage only). I tried digging in the code but could not find where I can accomplish this.
Thank you very much for this wonderful theme.
