Invalid ARIA attributes

aria-allowed-attr

Some elements use accessibility attributes that are not allowed for what they are, which can confuse assistive software more than having none at all.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who may hear an element described completely wrongly.

Fix it in WordPress

Almost always comes from a page builder widget or an accessibility overlay plugin. If an overlay is installed, this is a good reason to remove it.

What the fix is, technically

Remove attributes that are not permitted for the element's role.
