Theme check
Is Today Blog accessible?
No automated check can say that a theme is accessible. Here is what one found: on October 28, 2026, our check of Today Blog 1.0.1 on its WordPress.org preview found 1 accessibility problem in the theme's own parts (its header, menus, footer and layout), 0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heading levels skip | Moderate | 1 | 1.3.1 | 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. Today Blog may have changed since October 28, 2026.
How to fix them
- Heading levels skip. Choose heading levels by structure, not by size: one level 1 for the page title, level 2 for sections, level 3 inside them. Change the size with styling instead.
What the free Fixlight plugin does here
None of these is one the free plugin fixes on its own: it needs a change in the theme's settings or code. Fixlight lists it with the steps, and it also adds things automated checks don't flag, such as a skip link and visible keyboard focus, where a theme lacks them.
