    I see more and more everyday, people reporting the same issue – it’s even in the SERPS’s – this needs to be addressed and fixed. I’m now on a daily basis having to check and clear my error logs and this is without a doubt a Woocommerce issue

    [16-Jul-2024 18:43:03 UTC] PHP Warning: Undefined array key “aria-describedby_text” in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/loop/add-to-cart.php on line 40

    I have found this article which explains nicely what the problem is and I’m sure it has to do with payment method

    https://excellentwebcheck.com/blogs/how-to-use-aria-describedby-the-right-way

    They go on to say the following

    When to use aria-describedby?

    aria-describedby should be used when an element needs a more extensive description. For example, an input field might need a more detailed explanation of the expected input. As a general rule of thumb: use aria-describedby only when the description contains complete or multiple sentences.

    A real-world example for aria-describedby would be the BIC or SWIFT code for a bank account number.

    I only started getting these error messages when I activated the following payment method

    “Take payments in person via BACS. More commonly known as direct bank/wire transfer.”

    Hi @mommaroodle,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Can you tell us if you’re using the latest version of WooCommerce? Looking at the Github repo I see a change was done recently about this for version 9.0.0: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/46897.

    I’m also asking our developers about this to learn more, as this is the second report I have seen in the past few days.

    Thanks!
