 * Hi there, first thanks for the great plugin! In running scans for accessibility
   compliance, your plugin is throwing errors related to the <i> element used for
   the icons (close icon). The error states that <i> is not as readable by screen
   readers as <em> or <strong> ([https://achecker.achecks.ca/checker/suggestion.php?id=117](https://achecker.achecks.ca/checker/suggestion.php?id=117))
 * I hope that helps!

 * Hi [@jonahcoyote](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonahcoyote/),
 * I’m glad you are enjoying the plugin. Sorry for the delay somehow I missed a 
   couple of tickets 3 months ago.
 * Regarding the reported situation it seems a false positive because the checker
   is thinking that the “i” element is for italic and it’s not it is an icon that
   is wrapped with a link with a specific accessible description using the aria-
   label
 * So the suggestion wouldn’t apply in this situation.
 * Hope it helps.
