Works great

Hi @kotoedo,

First of all, we want to thank you for sharing your review and we appreciate that.

The Accessibility improvement was in the plugin’s development roadmap. After receiving your review, we sped up the process and took the necessary steps to enhance the feature. We are pleased to inform you that we have released a new version of the plugin with some important improvements. Kindly update the plugin and test the accessibility enhancements again.

If the improvements are satisfactory, it would mean a lot to us if you could consider updating your review.

Your understanding and cooperation would be highly appreciated.

Have a great day!

Hello @pulak00,

Your turnaround time is amazing, we appreciate it, thank you for that!

We’ve installed the latest version of the plugin and, indeed, we could see that you’ve added button role and aria-expanded attribute to the accordion item’s header. However, upon testing, we still can’t seem to be able to navigate through the accordion items with the keyboard (using Tab), and the body of an accordion item does not open and close with the use of Enter.

Hopefully these notes help you to improve the accordion accessibility even further. Again, thank you very much for this great plugin.

Hi @kotoedo,

Thanks for your reply and cooperation.

We can confirm that the latest version of the plugin allows users to navigate through the accordion items with the keyboard (using Tab and Enter ). We recorded a full video to show you how the keyboard navigation works perfectly. We used a Chrome extension called ‘Screen Reader‘ to test the accessibility. You can also use it for a better result.

Feel free to check out the video by clicking here.

If you find the feature works, we would appreciate if you consider updating the review. We always strive to ensure the user’s satisfaction is our highest priority.

Your understanding and cooperation would be highly appreciated.

Have a great day!

Hi @pulak00,

Thank you for another prompt response!

The behavior we’ve been trying to achieve is identical to the one here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/components/accordion/#how-it-works. There is no need for installing additional Chrome extensions; just using the Esc key, followed by Tab and Enter.

Thanks

Hi @kotoedo,

Thanks a lot for sharing the sample. The only small difference we had was the focus on the selected item. I’m happy to inform you that we released a new version of the plugin that includes the option to enable/disable the focus visibility. Feel free to check out the screenshot.

Now, when selecting an item and using the keyboard (using Tab), the active item will be focused as shown in the attached screenshot.

We request you to test the feature and let us know your findings. Feel free to let us know if we can improve further.

Have a nice day!

Hi @pulak00,

Thank you for your continuous effort to improve this plugin!

I’m still not able to see the newer version of the plugin at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-accordion-block/. I’m assuming that your latest update not only places focus on the active item’s heading but also expands the text under it upon pressing Enter.

Cheers!

Hi @kotoedo,

It seems you are looking the wrong plugin. The URL you shared is a different plugin and not developed by ShapedPlugin. You can check the changelog of the Easy Accordion from here.

Yes, the accessibility is working perfectly and you can navigate it using the keyboard (Tabs and Enter). We request you to check and we would appreciate it if you could consider updating the review.

Your understanding would be highly appreciated.

Have a great day!

Yes, @pulak00, you are correct. Your plugin works as expected! The rating was updated.
