Lists with invalid structure on WordPress
What this is
3 lists contain elements other than list items, so screen readers announce the wrong number of items.
Who it affects
- Screen reader users
Standards
How to fix it
- Make the direct children of `<ul>`/`<ol>` only `<li>` elements (wrap anything else inside an `<li>`).
On WordPress
Check which theme/plugin outputs this markup (view source, search the class names). Child-theme template overrides are the safest place to change it.
