Issue 1: Skip to main content link broken:
1. Start JAWS. Refresh the page.
2. Tab. Skip to content link appears and is read by JAWS.
3. Hit Enter. The page visually jumps down to the main region.
4. Hit the arrow key down, and find that the virtual cursor does not skip the header.
5. What should happen: Upon hitting Enter and the down arrow key, JAWS should start reading the main content region.
Issue 2: Navigation links can’t by accessed with the keyboard:
1. Start JAWS.
2. Tab through all the links in the navigation menu. When there’s a submenu, it won’t open. There’s no way to access those links from the keyboard.
3. Use the links list dialog (Insert + F7). The submenu links don’t appear in the list.
4. What should happen: the megamenu links need to be visible from the keyboard only. Twenty Twenty Two makes the nav-arrow visible and available to receive tab focus, and then when activated with Enter/Space it opens the menu. Perhaps you could make the menu automatically visible when the parent link gets tab focus?
Issue 3: Tab focus isn’t visible
1. Open the site (without JAWS)
2. Hit tab. None of the links receive visible focus.
3. What should happen: tab focus should be visible for those who navigate with the keyboard
Thank you
]]>We built a site whose main audience is people with visual disabilities, and they complain that the links are not recognized as such when using JAWS screenreader.
Any workarounds that we could use to fix this?

In appearance> Menus dashboard, I pressed Enter on “Screen Options”, hoping there might be an “Accessible Mode” just like the Widgets page that has an accessible mode in “Screen Options”, but as much as I tried with JAWS, NVDA, JAWS Cursor and NVDA Object Review, I could not expand the screen options. It is always collapsed, so I could not access those options. This problem did not exist in the previous versions of WordPress. Of course, I know the “Accessible Mode” option does not exist in Menus dashboard, it exists in Widgets dashboard only.
I use JAWS 2020 and NVDA 2020.
Suggestions:
a. Accessible mode: Please add an “Accessible Mode” to the screen options of menus editor, just like the Accessible Mode in the screen options of Widgets Editor. Also, test that button with screen readers so to make sure it works with JAWS and NVDA.
b. Desktop app: I wish there was a desktop app that allowed me to rearrange large menus with many items fast and easily with keyboard.
3- Accessibility Problem when rearranging and reordering menu items:
When we have only a few menu items, blind people can easily rearrange/reorder those items by clicking on the item and pressing “move up/ move down”. However, most of the times our website has so many items with parent-child hierarchical structure. This makes it so tedious and time-consuming for a blind person to arrange the menu items. For example, if they have a menu with tens of items and sub-items, when they add a new menu item, it goes to the end of the long list. They need to press “Move Up” tens of times in order to bring the item to a proper position under a proper parent item. Every time after pressing “Move Up” link, the cursor focus changes, and they have to find “Move up” link again and again.
Suggestions:
a. Rearranging via comboboxes: Just like the Widgets editor, When they press Enter on a menu item, instead of “Move up/Move Down” links, they should see two comboboxes: parent item, position. This way, they rearrange the item position so fast and easily.
b. Parent item: Among all types of menu items (Post, page, custom link, category, tag, etc.) there should be a new critical type called “Parent item”. Parent menu item is a neutral link that has sub-items (children) in the hierarchy. It is not linked to any page or post, and it goes nowhere when clicked. It just expands/collapses in order to show the sub-items. This is better than adding a custom-link and then converting the custom link to a parent-item.
Thank you
]]>I am using JAWS 2019, Windows 7 and Firefox – all updated. When I am working in WordPress (latest version, 5.2.2), After awhile links stop working. What I mean is, for example, in the admin menu (e.g., “Add New” (Plugin)), after I have been successfully clicking on (i.e., pressing “Enter”)various other links the links stop working. In this example, after awhile if I came to the “Add New” admin menu link and pressed “Enter” on it – it does not activate. Strangely, I do not ever seem to have this problem with the “Logout” link on the admin page. It never stops working.
Does anyone else have this issue? How can I fix it?
Thanks,
Richard
I use NVDA. I tried to work with the date and time pickers with JAWS too. Neither screen reader worked. I cannot change the values. I can write them in, but, nothing is changed when I do this. If this could be addressed, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Any help I can give you, I will. Ask, tell me what to do, and I will do it.
