CUNY Academic Commons

Hi All,

I was working with the admins who run this site and they have several accessibility questions that I was unable to answer.

https://lagccoertelc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

1. On the home page, WAVE flags a heading jump from H1 in the title to H3 in the sidebar widget. From what I can tell the code for the site is set up so that the widget content is read before the body content, creating this skipped heading level error -- see video. Is there a way to make the widget content read after the body content and/or change the header level of the widget?

2. On this page https://lagccoertelc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/listening-and-speaking-2/ several empty link errors reveal that there are several nested links in the code that do not appear on the site. For example in the green tea resource, there are 4 links and only the top level link is to the real resource and the other links are not visible on the page. Could this be from user error copying the grid block and replacing content when building the page? Is there an easy way to resolve these empty link errors here? Does the code need to be manually erased? See screenshot.

3. The third issue is a missing link in "nav toggle" area. I could not identify where or what this would be a link for or how to change it. I think this may be a feature of the theme? See screenshot

In my meeting with the accessibility person on this team, they also asked about several accessibility errors that were on the commons, not in the content of their site, and so I will create another ticket for that.
