Fix Divi A11y Plugin Version 1.4 Released

The latest version of the Fix Divi A11y plugin is available through the GitHub repository. The Fix Divi A11y plugin is a free plugin that addresses many of the biggest accessibility issues with the Divi theme and page builder. This plugin does require creating a child theme and editing PHP template files if you are using the default footer or any of the built-in header formats.

Version 1.4 includes extensive updates to the navigation menus. Additionally, version 1.4 has been tested with the official public release of Divi5 (v5.0.1). Note, several of these changes may have impact on design, so it is strongly recommended that you test on a non-production environment first.

Navigation Updates

Included keyboard support for sub-sub menus
Tested with an extended combination of browsers and screen readers
Added navigation role to Default mobile menu
Added region role to Slide-in Menu Container
Submenus are closed by default in Theme Builder version of header

No plugin alone will make your site WCAG conformant. You still need to make sure your site uses color combinations with sufficient color contrast, videos have captions and transcripts and all functionality and content is keyboard and screen reader accessible. Elevage Digital can perform an accessibility audit to determine what issues exist on your site in addition to those related to the Divi theme and page builder. Request a quote now.

As of March 1, 2026, Fix Divi A11y works with the public release of Divi5. Divi5 has very few native enhancements for accessibility. Instead, they recommend the Divi-Modules Accessibility Attributes and Accessibility Tweaks plugins. Some of the “Tweaks” include incorrect usage of ARIA. Elevage Digital only recommends using the Accessibility Attributes plugin if you need to apply ARIA roles and labels. Creating an accessible, WCAG-conformant Divi5 website will still require extensive custom coding and testing.

There are some issues with Divi modules that can’t easily be remediated, in which case it’s better to consider other options.

Blog – use a custom loop instead to fully control the HTML output
Contact Form and Email Opt-in – use a different form tool (ex. Gravity Forms)
Sliders and Gallery – use an alternative or reconsider the content – do you really need a carousel or can the content be presented in a more accessible way?
