An outdated role is in use

aria-deprecated-role

Some elements use a role that has been withdrawn from the specification and is no longer supported.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, whose software may ignore it entirely.

Fix it in WordPress

Old themes and long-abandoned plugins are the usual source. Check whether the plugin is still maintained.

What the fix is, technically

Replace it with the current equivalent role.
