landmark-complementary-is-top-level

The sidebar sits inside another area instead of alongside the main content.

Who this affects

Screen reader users navigating by region.

Fix it in WordPress

Check where get_sidebar() is called in the theme relative to the main element.

What the fix is, technically

Move the aside element out to the top level of the page.
