Misspelled ARIA attributes

aria-valid-attr

Some attributes start with aria- but are not real ones. Usually a typo, and they do nothing at all.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who silently lose whatever the author meant to convey.

Fix it in WordPress

Check hand-written markup in Custom HTML blocks and theme templates.

What the fix is, technically

Correct the spelling against the ARIA specification, or remove the attribute.
