With: the feedback we received on the accessibility-ready requirements and the knowledge base during Contributor day at WordCamp Europe, as well as the work we did to process that feedback.
Read the recap of the Accessibility Team’s work at WordCamp Europe 2026 for more details.
During the contributor day of WordCamp Europe, people at one table tested themes for the accessibility-ready tag. This gave us an excellent opportunity to see if the knowledge base works. We got useful feedback and the rest of the month we worked on processing this.
All the documentation for the accessibility-ready tag is now renamed Accessibility-ready program and is placed under one main menu item. Now the information is easier to discover and it gives us room to add more related documentation to this section. Some URLs have changed, we tried to catch all links but if you discover a still broken URL, please let us know.
Important feedback was: We need to enhance accessibility-ready guidelines with classic vs. block theme information and examples how to achieve the guidelines. More info about this in [issue #332].
The “Last updated” date now works thanks to @joedolson. So for example on Using headings in the content, the Last updated: May 22, 2026, at the bottom of the content with the meta data, is now correct.
Rian hopes to update and finish the documentation about how to test for accessibility in July.
