# ADA compliance missing form label errors

 * Hello! I posted this on the support forums [https://forum.webcraftic.com/threads/missing-form-labels-ada-wcag-compliance.901](https://forum.webcraftic.com/threads/missing-form-labels-ada-wcag-compliance.901)
   but wanted to do my due diligence in hopes that this will be seen and resolved
   as quickly as possible.
 * I’ve been running ADA compliance scans across our websites using [https://wave.webaim.org/](https://wave.webaim.org/)
   and there are currently 2 missing form label errors with the free version of 
   this plugin (not sure about the paid version). Unfortunately these 2 errors show
   up on every single blog posts where comments are enabled – totaling over 1300
   + errors.
 * The errors are for the following to lines of code:
    `<input type="text" name="
   wantispam_e_email_url_website" class="wantispam-control wantispam-control-e" 
   value="" autocomplete="off">`
 * `<input type="text" name="wantispam_q" class="wantispam-control wantispam-control-
   q" value="7.2.9" autocomplete="off">`
 * The client loves your plugin (as it is literally the only one that has worked
   for the amount of spam our client sees on a daily basis. We would love to see
   this issue fixed in a future release if possible.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fada-compliance-missing-form-label-errors%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello.
 * These fields are needed for checking for spam. We can’t add a label for them,
   as the fields must be completely hidden for the regular user.

 * Hello [@webtemyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtemyk/)
 * I completely understand that. Here is guidance from webaim.
 * What To Do
    If a text label for a form control is visible, use the <label> element
   to associate it with its respective form control. If there is no visible label,
   either provide an associated label, add a descriptive title attribute to the 
   form control, or reference the label(s) using aria-labelledby. Labels are not
   required for image, submit, reset, button, or hidden form controls.
 * Since its intended to be hidden – can it be given a descriptive title attribute
   to the form control or reference label using aria-labelledby?

 * Fantastic news. We hope to see it in a future update! Marking this as resolved.
   My team wanted me to reach out to you before extending your plugin functionality
   to include this ADA/WCAG compliance fix. I really appreciate your time. Thank
   you!
