Form fields with no label
labelOur plugin repairs this
Some form fields have nothing telling the visitor what to type in them, or use only placeholder text that disappears as soon as they start typing.
Who this affects
Screen reader users hear "edit text" with no clue what to enter. People with memory or attention difficulties lose the prompt the moment they start typing.
Fix it in WordPress
In Contact Form 7, wrap each field in a label tag rather than relying on the placeholder option. WPForms and Gravity Forms add labels automatically unless the label has been hidden, check for a "hide label" setting that has been switched on.
What the fix is, technically
Give every field a real label element linked to it by id, or an aria-label. Placeholder text is not a label.
Or let the plugin do it
This is one of the failures AccessVane can repair for you. It changes the pages your server actually sends, not a script layered on top, and switching the repair off puts everything back exactly as your theme had it.
