We've released a new update to the WAVE accessibility tools with numerous improvements and bug fixes. This version now informs users that accessiBe and UserWay overlays may manipulate page content to suppress detection of accessibility errors.

Just made a ton of changes to my @TheEventsCalendar reset gist. Now is reassigns TEC custom properties to equivalent WP core custom properties (configurable in theme.json) so that the designs are much more likely to match your theme out of the box. gist.github.com/mrwweb/6f5ba…

@TheEventsCal I'd highly recommend you consider adopting something similar with the use of core custom properties. That approach allows you to inherit *a ton* of theme specific settings like spacing, colors, and sizes.

This upcoming feature (that I'm tweeting about as I create) is inspired by the many times I've heard @briancoords complain about how hard it is to get to the frontend of a post from the #WordPress Block Editor.

In the upcoming version of QuickPost (the plugin), there'll be a new 'View Post' link as well (with preferences to turn it off if you don't like it), because it's way too many clicks right now to get to a new post. #WordPress
Shows the WordPress post editor, and a new 'view post' link beside the 'switch to draft' link in the toolbar.

Pro tip: if a disclosure button toggles between "show more" to "show less" or similar, you don't need aria-expanded. The state is already indicated. (This comes up again and again in audits.) #ariaSerious #aria #webdev #a11y #tips

At #23NTC @evan_greer warned of the pitfalls of “tech solutionism” (tech solutions to structural problems.) This is a stark example: mental health services access is critical, but the answer will not come from for-profit companies that exploit vulnerable users.

Companies spamming #23NTC attendees is a guaranteed way to ensure I will never recommend your products/services — and I will go out of my way to tell people NOT to use you. Also, if you've added me to your #23NTC spam lists, you're really bad at lead vetting. Cut it out, folks.

Hey #23NTC tweeters: Most images I see on tweets with this hashtag seem to be missing alt text. Let's do better! Our community should be leading by example when it comes to #accessibility, equity, and inclusion online.

Hey @donordock! I *love* the #23NTC tote bags. I wish I were in person to get one. I took a look at your website & see a number of accessibility issues. What is your plan for improving the site and do you test your product with users with disabilities (there's no public demo)?

What happened to the @Safeway Signature Salsa Roja!?!?!? It's been gone for a month now and it looks like it is may be discontinued. This is TRAGIC 😭 It was legit one of my favorite salsas ever. #Safeway

Many nonprofits struggle with what to write online. They want to keep a blog or share helpful info on social, but don't know what to say. My advice is always the same. Start by answering questions you get asked all the time. This content solves a problem for your community.

Hi @SiteGround Your monthly Site Security review email still gives my sites a 0 for site scanning even when they have @sucurisecurity server-side scanning installed. You should be able to see this and not hide that notice. It's misleading and confusing.

Anyone who uses Creative Commons photos, especially from Flickr, should read about copyleft trolls: pluralistic.net/2023/04/01/p… by @doctorow This is extra relevant since #WordPress 6.2 includes the ability to insert images from @WPOpenverse. #CreativeCommons Good job, @Flickr!
