    We are considering using wpForo for its comprehensive feature set. However, our client requests that his website complies to current accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1). So far, I have not found reliable information about the WCAG-compliance of wpForo.

    Has anyone information and/or personal experience about the topic?

    Hi @martinsauter ,

    I want to be transparent: wpForo does not currently have formal WCAG 2.1 certification or comprehensive accessibility documentation. However, we have implemented several accessibility features.

    What wpForo includes:

    • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
    • Skip-to-content navigation
    • Keyboard navigation support for core functions
    • Alt text support for user avatars and images
    • Screen reader-compatible form elements
    • Clean, standards-compliant code base

    Known limitations:

    • ARIA labels may need enhancement in some areas
    • Color contrast in default themes may require adjustment
    • We don’t have comprehensive accessibility testing documentation

    We’re committed to improving accessibility in future releases and welcome specific feedback about features or modifications that would help your use case.
