 * Hi, thank you for this developper friendly plugin! 
   I’m working on an accessibility
   optimised website and have issue with the checkbox filters while using the screen
   reader tools. Each time the user checked a term, it’s going back to the top of
   the page. So the user has to navigate again from the top of the page to the filters
   for selecting another term.Is there a way to just go to the next term or filter?
   Thank you.

 * Hi [@supermaheu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supermaheu/)
 * Well, you can use AJAX from the Filters->Settings so the posts will be updated
   without page reloading. It should fix your problem. In the “HTML Id or Class 
   of the Items Container” you should specify your posts wrapper/container id or
   class such as #myId or .myClass

 * Hi, thank you for your help and sorry for not responding as fast as you. After
   another test session and a lot of exploration, I finally found the navigation
   issue with the screen reader: 
   on each checkbox value, there is a link. And the
   link drives back to the top of the filters widget after checked. Is there a way
   to not have thoses links, without modifying the WalkerCheckbox file, which is
   not a customisable template?Thank you – Mahé
