Theme check
Is Evermag accessible?
No automated check can say that a theme is accessible. Here is what one found: on October 28, 2026, our check of Evermag 1.2 on its WordPress.org preview found 5 accessibility problems in the theme's own parts (its header, menus, footer and layout), 1 of them serious or critical.
We make Fixlight, a free WordPress plugin that fixes some of these problems, so we're not neutral. The measurements below are what our check found; anyone can repeat it with the same method.
What the check found
| Problem | Impact | Times | WCAG | Free Fixlight plugin fixes it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Links shown only by colour | Serious | 1 | 1.4.1 | Yes |
| Page regions that cannot be told apart | Moderate | 1 | Best practice | No, needs a person |
| Page has no main heading | Moderate | 1 | 1.3.1 | No, needs a person |
| Content outside the page regions | Moderate | 1 | Best practice | No, needs a person |
| No "Skip to content" link | Moderate | 1 | 2.4.1 | No, needs a person |
How we checked: One page, the theme's home page on WordPress.org's preview (wp-themes.com), which shows the same sample posts for every theme. It was loaded in a real browser and checked with axe-core's WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules and its best practices. Problems inside the sample posts are not counted against the theme, except colour problems its styling causes. Automated checks find many problems, but not all of them. Your site, with your own content, settings and plugins, will give different results. Evermag may have changed since October 28, 2026.
How to fix them
- Links shown only by colour. Turn on "Underline links in text" on the Fixes screen, or underline links in your theme's settings.
- Page regions that cannot be told apart. When two regions of the same kind exist (two navigation menus, for example), give each a different aria-label.
- Page has no main heading. Make sure the page title is a level 1 heading. Most themes do this; page builders sometimes do not.
- Content outside the page regions. This usually comes from the theme or a page builder section. Put page content inside the main area, or ask your theme developer to add header, main and footer regions.
- No "Skip to content" link. Fixlight adds the link automatically when it can find the main content area. If it cannot, wrap your content in a <main> element.
What the free Fixlight plugin does here
Of these, the free plugin fixes links shown only by colour on its own, in the HTML the site sends, with no widget. The rest (page regions that cannot be told apart, page has no main heading, content outside the page regions, no "skip to content" link) need a change in the theme's settings or code.
