Pro: Where are HTML <nav> tags and navigation role for accessibility?

[cityoflawrenceks]

I’m working on updating site navigation to function in a left-hand orientation—somewhat similar to this site. Current, navigation is using the combination of the default theme options header and Ubermenu. With the update, I’m trying to use the Pro Header Builder.

With both this site and the theme/Ubermeu setup, HTML tags are present with the appropriate role=“navigation”. However, when using the Pro Header Builder, I’m not seeing any of this information present—regardless of what menu element (or any other element) is added.

Is there something I’m doing wrong or overlooking?

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Currently Pro navigation elements don’t render the <nav> tags because the navigation elements are using the standard wp_nav_menu function, however I’ve added this as a feature request so the developers will be made aware of it.

Thanks!

I also see that the ‘search’ role is missing from the search element.

If you could please include other roles and tags in the request. Essentially, all missing tags and roles that are part of making things accessible.

Thanks.
