Hello,
we have reported to envato that you do not answer to our questions.
They request to ask you again via support ticket and report if the question is still open.

So we need to ask you here the question, because you do not reply via comment section:

On June 28th, 2025, the European Accessibility Act will be in full force. This act affects all websites and apps. Webmaster with elementor themes need to check f their theme widgets are ready for European Accessibility. A lot fo theme developer already updated their theme and code base and improved a lot of theme core widgets. Also elementor doing so with their core widgets if you check the changelog. Do you plan to make your theme working with European Accessibility Act? For example: you shoud tag the name of the widget, add label to each element and adding schema to FAQ list. Also menu list need to have an schema. Our question is: Do you plan to work on this cases soon? Or you can confirm your code base is ready for European Accessibility Act? We running some checker on your demo pages and we have results like 3% and some pages have 7% passed. Also if we check very simple pages we have results under 10% test passed.

Dear @Tommy,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

To better understand your request, could you specify which themes have already updated their code base and improved their core widgets for European Accessibility Act compliance? Since you mentioned that many theme developers have already made improvements, reviewing specific examples will help us analyze and clarify the key areas of your concern more effectively.

Once we have this information, we will be able to assess the situation in greater detail and provide a more accurate response.

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,
Jack Richardson

Hello,
why you delete my review on envato please?
I do not use any bad words and only wrote about our issue with H style and you flag and delete it. We reported this case to envato with screenshots from the review before you delete it and now its not shown anymore.

But now step back into our case here.
“Once we have this information, we will be able to assess the situation in greater detail and provide a more accurate response.”
We get this feedback from elementor pro support. They told us to use another theme which usng widgets that coud be readed better with thirdparty tools and they already aplied the schema and meta details for screenreader and many points more.

They also show us how their own widgets are improved right now and we shoud use themes they already implement the same in their widgets.

They also linked their own plugin about this topic:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/pojo-accessibility/#description

and tell us to test it with other themes. We testing it with storefront.

But in this project we using xstore.
And we asking you now in this case if you plan to improve this theme in this case. You can test it also from your side and try to understand why its so critical. We can not add schema and many more deep dive code into a theme. Sure, from technical side we can do that, but its not a good idea to change so much in such deep case the core code via child-theme. It shoud be done by the theme developer himself.

Second question regarding this case:
What about ARIA Labels on buttons from your widgets for example? Do you plan to fix it? Right now we misisng it to pass the test for example.
