Theme check
Is Prestivo Lite accessible?
No automated check can say that a theme is accessible. Here is what one found: on October 28, 2026, our check of Prestivo Lite 1.0.1 on its WordPress.org preview found 6 accessibility problems in the theme's own parts (its header, menus, footer and layout), 5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text with too little contrast | Serious | 2 | 1.4.3 | No, needs a person |
| Lists with the wrong kind of items | Serious | 2 | Best practice | No, needs a person |
| 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 |
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. Prestivo Lite may have changed since October 28, 2026.
How to fix them
- Text with too little contrast. Make the text darker or the background lighter until the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text). Change it in your theme's colour settings so it applies everywhere.
- Lists with the wrong kind of items. A <ul> or <ol> should contain only <li> items.
- 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.
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 (text with too little contrast, lists with the wrong kind of items, page regions that cannot be told apart) need a change in the theme's settings or code.
