    Hi there,

    I just found the plugin and it seems very nice :)! I bought the Premium version to support the developmanet :).

    It would be awesome if you can add accessibility support to be wcag compliant. At the moment it is not possible to navigate with the keyboard and a screenreader.

    And can you plaese remove this css code:

    input[name=”s”], input[name=”cpsp-autocomplete”] {

    1. text-transform: lowercase;

    Thank you!

    Hello @networka

    There is a confusion here. The search in place is not a Combobox. A Combobox is a component where the popup or options list exists to make easier the entry of data by users. If you select one option from the popup or the options list, the information in the selected item replaces the text in the input box. However, this is not the case in the search-in-place popup. It displays a list of links for navigating to another page or a current page section.

    Best regards.

    you are right. It was only an example.

    At the moment blind people:

    • Don‘t know that the list opens.
    • there should be an indicator how many items are in the list etc. -> should be formatted as a list.

    maybe it is not a combo box but it is not fully accessible for people with a screenreader/keyboard usage.

    Hello @networka

    We have modified the search in place po-up to improve its accessibility from screen readers.

    Hi there,

    thank you for your effort. But can you please improve the implementation?

    1. Include dynamically the number of the results in the pop-up. Or make the results as a list, then the screenreader shows the number of list items.
    2. And more important, at the moment when you type the search term for example: WORDPRESS, the sentence “Search results pop-up. Press theTab (missing space) key to navigate.” shows up after the third letter and is repeated with each additional letter…

    Happy to hear from you again :)!

    Thank you for make the plugin accessible! :))) Now it is perfect. I updated my “Pro Verison” to 5.1.10. Loco says the pot file is missing. Can you check this please?

    Hello @networka

    Yes, the plugin is distributed with the .po files.

    If you have created new language files, make sure you created them in the correct path “/wp-content/languages/plugins/”.

    You should not create the language files in the plugin directory because WordPress updates the plugin by removing the old plugin version files and replacing them with new ones.

    Best regards.
