 * Hello,
 * Thank you for creating a great slider plugin for Gutenberg editor!
 * We’ve tested Gutenslider plugin for use on our website (which requires WCAG 2.0
   conformance for accessibility). Overall, the plugin is excellent and works great!
   I did notice a couple of accessibility issues:
 * Slide navigation (previous and next buttons) are missing a keyboard focus outline.
 * Gutenslider slideshows are missing an ARIA-live attribute (i.e. aria-live= polite)
   to alert users to dynamic content.
 * The CSS issue is an easy fix, but I did not see any options to customize the 
   slider source.
 * Thanks.
 * -Trip

 * Hello,
 * Thanks again for providing a great plugin for the WordPress community! I’m wondering
   if you had a chance to review my support request?
 * Any advice you could offer to customize the Gutenslider block for keyboard accessibility
   would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@triprems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/triprems/),
 * thanks for your posts, and sorry for the late reply. You can find the frontend(
   user facing) code dom in `src/blocks/gutenslider/block-front.php`. 
   Is it enough
   to add `aria-live="polite`” to the outermost div to resolve your issue?

 * Hello,
 * No problem. Thanks for the information!
 * I would recommend adding the aria-live attribute (aria-live=polite) to the container
   Div (ID – swiper-wrapper-#).
 * Here is a sample carousel on the W3C website for reference: [https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/carousel/examples/carousel-1-prev-next/](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/carousel/examples/carousel-1-prev-next/).
   Please note that they have included a pause button to allow users to stop the
   auto-play carousel.
 * Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need more information.
 * Thanks,
 * -Trip
