Empty links and the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement

[LHDPro]

Hello there,

We are attempting to meet the upcoming European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement and are getting errors for one or two of Pro’s elements in this site: This is the site: https://moylescourt.co.uk/

We are using the Web Accessibility Tool to review the site - please see attached image.

One example if the four social media buttons in the left side of the header - the WAVE report shows these as empty links. However, each link does have a URL within it, so do you know what they are referring to?

If you would like to see the report, use this: https://wave.webaim.org/report#/https://moylescourt.co.uk/

Cheers!

Hello again,

Here is another conundrum - we are trying to add ALT text to the header and footer logos to resolve the Suspicious Alternative text alert in the WAVE tool.

I have now added the text into both the media library image editor and on the image element but it still says IMAGE.

This isn’t a problem we have had with the other images, so do you know what is going wrong here?

See the main logo, for example: https://moylescourt.co.uk/

Thanks!

Hello Spencer.

There is no Text needed for the social icons. If you want, you can enable the Text in the Button element and add something like:

And as for your logo, make sure to add an ALT text like this:

Hope this helps.

HI @ruenel,

Thanks for getting back. Do you know why the social media icons are being listed as Empty Links? We can clearly see the URL in the HREF.

Cheers :-}

Hi Spencer,

I have checked the social media icons in the header and found that the links are showing correctly. And the icon shows for ARIA hidden.

I also tried to find the empty links, but unfortunately didn’t find any of them.

Thanks
