Accessibility-ready requirements for #WordPress themes have been updated! This was a multi-year process with many people involved, and I'm so happy to see the culmination of that process finally live.
Theme devs with already published themes have until June 30th, 2026, to get their themes updated to the new standards or remove the accessibility-ready tag.

🙌 Huge shout-out to @joedolson and @rianrietveld for supporting my efforts on this and pushing it over the finish line. Also, thank you ❤️ to InstaWP for donating the testing environments when we determined that using Playground wouldn't work.
