    hello there
    i am having some isues regarding accessibility
    1 i am trying to find how to change the <i class store icons to em or strong so they can be wcag compatible.. maybe i could add arria hidden globaly for them to work but would appreciate an easy fic on that — Replace your i elements with em or strong.
    2) i am getting an duplicate id probably has to do with menu is there a workaround ? –Modify the id attribute value so it is unique.
    3) another question is that when i use the child theme more accessibility issues occur which is kind of strange
    4) i am also getting an issue with alt images missing in another site when i use brands carousel img class="swiper-lazy" data-src="https:/ — Add an alt attribute to your img element.
    5)i also get a select element missing an associated label for my search <select style="max-width: calc(122px + 1.4em)" name='product_cat'it surely haw to do with the side categories before search input
    look forward to your reply

    Hello,

    To fix the menu id issue go to Appearance > Menus > create mobile menu and add items you want to show there https://prnt.sc/10acs0q Choose this menu in the Theme Options > Header builder > Mobile menu https://gyazo.com/d49a826fc842fc0dcfa6d0758577b68f

    Did you add alt text for your brand images in the image settings?

    Regards

    Ty for the guidance on duplicate id
    1. What is strange i am having alt text in all images but i get alt text missing when swiper lazy class and data src is being used
    2.the issue with xstore icons remains where can we edit them . Adding an extra aria hidden may help . Another suggestion why we are getting replace i class with em or strong
    3. Did you find out why am i having a label missing in search input when categories are present? Can we place a search label to the categories next to the search input ?

    Hello,

    We can’t check your site using achecker.ca it gives the error https://gyazo.com/d6859c5eb3824a989dda625e0d3f8cb0
    I checked your site using https://wave.webaim.org/ and don’t see the errors https://prnt.sc/10c30qc
    Alt attributes are ok for the images https://prnt.sc/10c378c

    Regards
