Validation Warning

    I’m using a Customizr child theme and I get the following warning error when trying to validate:
    “Warning: The banner role is unnecessary for element header.”

    I chased down the file that is loading the offending header element and it’s the header.php file in the parent Customizr theme Version: 3.5.11.

    How can I add the edited offending header element to my child theme?

    Well the quick and easy resolution was to just copy the header.php file into my child theme and edit accordingly, it now passes validation. But I really dislike this type of fix, as the header.php file in the parent Customizr theme could change in a future update thus causing more issues later.

    After doing some research (see the ARIA documentation) the <header> element includes a role=banner attribute by default so using the roll=”banner” ARIA within the header element throws the warning error.

    This is a default unedited Customizr theme, updated to v3.5.11 on 4-21-2017. So it really needs to be addressed by the developers. Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the next Customizr update.
