Hi @nunowp
Thanks for reaching out and sharing a screenshot. From what I’m seeing you’re missing the elements with an ARIA role.
To give a bit more insight, ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles are attributes used in HTML to make web content more accessible, especially for people using screen readers.
Storefront, like many themes, should already incorporate ARIA roles to a certain extent as part of its accessibility features. However, the completeness and accuracy of these roles can vary, which in some cases you might need to add or adjust ARIA roles through customizations. Accessibility improvements generally fall under design customization which isn’t typically covered under our scope.
But to get you started, you might want to:
- Identify the Elements: Determine which parts of your website might need ARIA roles. Common scenarios include navigation menus, forms, and interactive elements like buttons and sliders.
- Choose Appropriate Roles: Use ARIA roles that accurately describe the functionality of each element. For example:
role="navigation" for a navigation section. role="button" for an element that behaves like a button.

Hi @reynierc,
Thanks for your reply.
I understand that the situation may be related to ARIA role, however as I reported these errors did not occur before I updated the theme to the latest version. It scored 100% in this accessibility field before the update.
The errors are occurring on the product pages, specifically on the side tabs for additional descriptions and reviews.
So I think it was a bug introduced in the latest version of the theme that you should check.

Hello nunowp,
Thank you for your reply.
I understand that you are facing this issue after updating to the latest version released on January 20, 2025.
Could you revert to the previous version and check if the issue is resolved?
This will help me confirm the issue is occurring with the latest version.
You may use the WP Rollback plugin to revert to the previous version.
Looking forward to your response. 🙂

I actually downgraded the theme to previous version (4.6.0) and the problem persists. I updated the Woocommerce version at the same time, so it can only be that.
In any case, I apologize for the inconvenience, I will report the case in the woocommerce forum.
Thanks
Hi @nunowp
No worries! And thanks for letting us know about the results. On the WooCommerce support forum, please feel free to add the link to this topic for more context in case backtracking is needed.
Also, a system status report might be helpful to look into your site’s build, you can find it by going to WooCommerce → Status, selecting Get system report, and then Copy for Support.
