A control part is outside its container

aria-required-parent

Some elements are declared as part of a larger control but are not inside one.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who hear an orphaned fragment of a control.

Fix it in WordPress

Same source as the previous issue: menu, tab and accordion widgets. Update the plugin.

What the fix is, technically

Place them inside an element with the required parent role.
