[Resolved] Aria Label

[William]

Aloha team!

I struggling to troubleshoot this accessibility issue.

I’ve added ‘aria label’ to some social media buttons (with ‘Remove Text’) … but the labels are failing to show up in the code.

Here is a page with examples: https://sci.manoa.hawaii.edu/programs/library-and-information-science/

Funny enough … these same assigned aria labels seem to work fine on buttons where ‘Remove Text’ is NOT checked.

Example of working labels is here (left column buttons): https://sci.manoa.hawaii.edu/rich-gazan/

Am I doing something wrong?

As always … Much advice for any advice you can give 🙂

Hi Bill,

Just tested on my site with text removed, and the aria-label is showing correctly.

Can you try disable all plugins to eliminate conflicts? And make sure GB is up to date.

Let me know!

Aloha Ying,

Ahhh — I think I got it 🙂

I set the buttons up using the Dynamic Data options in the WordPress sidebar, as opposed to using the Dynamic options that appear directly above a selected element.

^^ aria labels with this dynamic data setup were not working.

I reset all the dynamic options to the ‘old’ way and the aria labels now work perfectly 🙂

Am I not using the sidebar dynamic data options correctly?

You the best 🙂

Thanks

Am I not using the sidebar dynamic data options correctly?

Ah I see, I can replicate this on my end.

It looks like a GB bug to me, we’ll see 🙂

Thank you Bill!

The thanks are all mine to you … I really appreciate your help Ying 🙂

It’s always our pleasure to work with you 🙂
