 * When I run this page on Wave, I get the empty button error. 2 other pages in 
   the Cafe section get the same error, but, no other pages on the site have this
   error. These three pages are the only pages on the site that use the restaurant
   menu, but don’t sdee any problem with that. When I view page source I do see 
   3 buttons, but they are not empty, they do have text between the tags. I don’t
   see anything else – button or input that could be causing the error.
 * Can anyone see what might be causing the problem?
 * Only buttons I see on the page. Other pages have these same buttons, so I don’t
   think they are causing the error:
 * `<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-navbar navbar-toggle mendef"
   data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#cshero-main-menu-mobile"><i class="fa fa-
   align-justify"></i><span class="sr-only">Toggle Menu</span></button>`
    `<button
   type="button" class="a11y-toggle-contrast toggle-contrast" id="is_normal_contrast"
   aria-pressed="false"><span class="offscreen">Toggle High Contrast</span><span
   class="aticon aticon-adjust" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>` `<button type
   ="button" class="a11y-toggle-fontsize toggle-fontsize" id="is_normal_fontsize"
   aria-pressed="false"><span class="offscreen">Toggle Font size</span><span class
   ="aticon aticon-font" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fempty-buttons-causing-accessibility-errors%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I don’t think those are the buttons that Wave is referring to. I think it’s actually
   these three buttons:
 *     ```
       <button type="button" id="cboxPrevious"></button>
       <button type="button" id="cboxNext"></button>
       <button id="cboxSlideshow"></button>
       ```
   
 * You don’t see them when you do a _view source_ on the page, but you can see them
   if you examine the page using the browser’s Inspector. It looks like those buttons
   are related to something called a Colorbox slideshow. Is there a slideshow that
   was inserted on that page but not being used?

 * Hi,
    Thank you for that information. I found that it was [jquery colorbox](http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/),
   a lightbox plugin for jquery, that was in the Nuvo parent theme I am using. I
   don’t see any reference to it in the theme options and am not using it on those
   pages. I did find the file for those pages called menufood.php that the script
   was enqued in. I temporarily commented it out to test it, and ran into no problems
   or errors, so I will add wp_dequeue_script to my functions.php file in the child
   theme to remove it properly from the menu pages.
 * Thanks for the direction!
