Site accessibility test – HTML5 landmarks

[supergap]

Hi,
I’m trying to let my site pass the Accessibility Test. And it doesn’t.
Most of the issue are related to links, contracts and so on. But there is one that seems difficult to solve because depends from layout elements, HTML5 landmarks.
So I make a test with one of your demo homepages, to be sure the issue wasn’t only on my side.
Using this url: https://woodmart.xtemos.com/demo-jewellery/demo/jewellery/ into an accessibility checker (https://www.accessibilitychecker.org/audit/?website=https%3A%2F%2Fwoodmart.xtemos.com%2Fdemo-jewellery%2Fdemo%2Fjewellery%2F&flag=eu) I found that specific issue I wrote above (landmarks).

And a part for many other issues, the most important seems the following: – Ensures all pages content is contained by landmarks- and then it shows all the instances in the page with that issue (please check attached pictures), then it suggest 2 solutions using ARIA landmarks or HTML5 landmarks.

So, I wonder how to add them and where in the theme (as you can see a lot of issue – look at attached list of issues -are in the menu items, cart widgets, toolbar etc).

Here in Xtemos, I found a support item already in 2021 about that (https://xtemos.com/forums/topic/some-seo-problem/) , and coming to the 28 june, date of Accessibility Compliance, I would like to overcome the issue that I wrote above.

Many thanks

Hi,
Ok thanks. Was convinced it was the 8.3 version. I’m not able to understand what version is. Is it possibile by looking into the folder (sono txt file or similar) I download from Envato Market, because they don’t provide this information.
