Hi there,

Currently there is no simple method of filtering that element to add an aria-label or other markup – we’ll address that in a future update.

Looking at your site – i notice there is no Add to Cart buttons on the shop / archive pages ( only single products ) – is that correct ?

If so you can disable that Element in Customizer > Layout > Woocommerce –> Display cart panel on add to cart – as it only ever displayed if a user adds to cart from the shop / archives.

Hi David,

Yes, I don’t use add to cart buttons shop/archive pages.
I already use that customize tool to do that. https://prnt.sc/123caw6
Is there any other setting?

Should I use this one?

   add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'remove_add_to_cart_buttons', 1 );
    function remove_add_to_cart_buttons() {
      if( is_product_category() || is_shop()) { 
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart' );
      }
    }

Uncheck the: Display cart panel on add to cart option:

Hi David,

I have missed that. Done know.
But What is it for actually?

Displays a sticky panel when Add to Cart is clicked on shop archives:

I got it. In that case, I unclick it, and error gone. 🙂

I believe you can fix the issue in next releases for other people.

thanks for your time.

[David]

We will 🙂

Glad to be of help

Dear David,

You mentioned in 2021 that the problem will be solved in future updates:

–> Links do not have a discernible name – Lighthouse error <–

Is there already a solution? I get the same error on my main page:
https://www.ihrcoachinginstitut.de

Example: div.gb-container > div.gb-inside-container > div.gb-container > a.gb-container-link

Best regards,
Julia

Hi there,

the issue in this topic is different to the one you have.

Question – instead of using a Background image with a Container link, why not simply use an Image Block with a link to that article ?
