Title: Theme update: improved accessibility Last modified: October 31, 2020 --- # Theme update: improved accessibility * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/) * Hi, * About the recent BlueGray theme update: * Main reason for last update is to improve accessibility and better support for screen readers. * Because of this I had to change the CSS of main navigation. Mainly the CSS of submenu and mobile menu. * Those changes might have broken some of your CSS customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a topic in support forum. * For users with a child theme, I have updated file header. Added a skip-to-content link and changed the div with class “mobile-nav-toggle” into a button. * Guido Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13606132) * > For users with a child theme, I have updated file header.

In previous theme version the navigation was full width and the `ul` had a max-width. * Guido * [ceebee6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceebee6/) * (@ceebee6) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13626264) * Hi there. Sadly this recent update has introduced a problem in my site. Previously, as I increased the width of the browser window, all parts of the site main menu, header image, homepage middle etc – stretched with it correctly. Since this upgrade the div containing the main menu stops at a fixed maximum width (1200px ?) while the other elements continue to stretch horizontally. * Hope you can help. * Chris. * [ceebee6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceebee6/) * (@ceebee6) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13626303) * Sorry – forgot to say I’m using a child theme. * Chris. * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13630388) * Hi Chris, * Very sorry to hear. It’s caused by the new wrapper/container called `nav-head- container` that I’ve added around the menu. So around the `nav-head` div. I had to do it. * In previous version the `nav-head ul` had a max-width of 1160px. I have removed the width from that ul, because of the newly added wrapper/container. Now the` nav-head` itself has a max-with of 1160 px. * If you give me the URL of your site I can help you to fix it again. * Guido * [ceebee6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceebee6/) * (@ceebee6) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13632613) * Hi Guido. * The site is [http://www.sos.org.uk](http://www.sos.org.uk) * Chris. * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13632787) * Hi Chris, * Are you gonna update file header of your child theme? With the extra container around nav, the skip-to-content link and the mobile nav button? All three changes are improvements. * Latest version of file can be found [here](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bluegray/6.6/header.php). * If you are not able to do it, I can help you with it. * Guido * [ceebee6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceebee6/) * (@ceebee6) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13633412) * I assumed that when I updated a theme from the Dashboard all necessary updates would be applied – I didn’t realise it was necessary to update files individually. * Chris. * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13633431) * Hi Chris, * Yes, you must update changed files from your child theme individually. * But if you send me your child theme or the header file, I will add the relevant changes for you. If you agree with this, can I reach you via the Secretary email that is listed at the contact page of this wensite? * Guido * [ceebee6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceebee6/) * (@ceebee6) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13633436) * Hi Guido, * Contact me on [webmaster@sos.org.uk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/webmaster@sos.org.uk?output_format=md) please * Chris. * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13633453) * Great, I have sent you an email. * Guido * Theme Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13979807) * Hi, * Another theme update today, with mostly accessibility fixes: * – Fix: submenu in IE11 – Fix: submenu in older iOS version – Fix: image caption– Updated support for screen readers * Enjoy! * Guido Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Theme update: improved accessibility’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/bluegray/7.9/screenshot.png) * BlueGray * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bluegray/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bluegray/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bluegray/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/bluegray/reviews/) * 11 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * Last activity: [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-improved-accessibility/#post-13979807) * Status: not a support question
