Focus Outline All Of A Sudden

    All of a sudden, a focus outline has appeared on all sites using OceanWP on all of the menu items (header menu, footer menu, top bar menu etc) AND all text links. The only thing that changed on these sites is an update to to the theme (and I am using a child theme). Even though the last theme update was on 5/2/22, I just updated it on all my sites last night & then noticed the issue. In looking at the changelog, the very first item is:

    * **Added**: Accessibility: Buttons: focus option.

    So that definitely tells me that the update caused the issue. My question to the theme developer is why would you add the focus option which would just automatically add this to existing designs? I know how to remove it with custom css, but it’s so not cool that I have to go through all of my clients sites & do that! Seriously!

    WHY???

  • Hi,Since you are an Elementor Pro user, you can open a support ticket at my.elementor.com.

    I’d also suggest you check out our Elementor Community forum, we have created it to connect Elementor users together and share knowledge, my.elementor.com.

    www.ads-software.com rules state that commercial products are not supported here.

    Hi,

    I think you are on the wrong forum, because the question is about the OceanWp theme. However, I can tell you, that most themes set this by default to comply to the recent accessibility laws for disabled persons.

    If you absolutely do not want it, you will need to use CSS to disable it, but it is easier for disabled persons.

    `Consequences of Not Being Web Compliant for Accessibility
    ADA and WCAG compliance can cost anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.

    Failing to comply with accessibility laws and regulations, however, can end up costing you more…anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    The WCAG is the de facto international standard that Sect 508 of the Disabilities Act and the American Disabilities Act both follow in the US.

    The lack of ADA website compliance, however, has become a major liability to website owners in recent years, as witnessed by the increased number of mobile and web-related ADA lawsuits.

    People with disabilities are not only suing big businesses like Domino’s, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Home Depot, Estee Lauder, and dozens more for having inaccessible websites, many are also bringing cases against website owners for violating the ADA.

    The Bottom Line: If your site provides services or sells products to the general public, you could be violating the ADA, so make sure you learn and do all you can to make your WordPress site accessible.`

    Hope this helps to understand the “why”!
