A form field has more than one label

form-field-multiple-labels

Some fields have two or more labels attached, so assistive software may read the wrong one or read both.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who get confusing or duplicated instructions.

Fix it in WordPress

Usually caused by a form plugin's label plus a theme's own label wrapper. Disable the duplicate in the form plugin's template settings.

What the fix is, technically

Keep exactly one label per field. If you need extra help text, use aria-describedby instead of a second label.
