The same id is used more than once

duplicate-id-aria

Two elements share the same identifier, which breaks the links between labels and the fields they describe.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who may hear the wrong label read for a field.

Fix it in WordPress

Usually caused by placing the same form or widget twice on one page, for example a search form in both the header and the sidebar. Check for duplicated blocks.

What the fix is, technically

Make every id on the page unique.
