Issue with screenreaders

    Hi. We use this plugin on our site and it does exactly what we need. But we have some users who are visual impaired and using screenreaders such as Jaws, NVDA, VoiceOver etc and there is a small problem.

    Next to the button to report a comment on the first comment in each post, screenreaders can see two text fields with 4 numbers in each. These text fields are not visible on the screen but screen readers detect these fields and it becomes confusing for users using screenreaders. I think it’s a honeypot for spam protection. Is it possible to make screen readers not see these fields?

    Hello Joakim,

    Thank you for reporting this. I added some changes to the html code with hidden="true" aria-hidden="true" parameters.

    Version 2.1.4 is tagged. Does this update improve things for your users?

    Regards, Marcel

    Hi. Thanks for the update, now it works perfectly (tested with Jaws for PC and VoiceOver for Mac and iPhone. It helps our users very much. 🙂
