How to fix aria input field name on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open the Wix Editor for your site. Click on the form or input element that is flagged.
2. In the left panel, click the element's Settings (gear icon) or the Accessibility panel (if available in your plan) and look for 'Accessible Label' or 'ARIA Label' fields — Wix exposes these for many elements.
3. If the element is a Wix Forms field, go to the field settings and ensure the 'Field Title' / 'Label' is filled in and set to visible (not hidden with CSS). A visible label is always preferred.
4. For elements where Wix does not expose an ARIA label field natively, use Wix Velo (Developer Mode): enable Dev Mode → click the element → use $w('#inputId').accessibility.ariaLabel = 'Descriptive label'; in your page code.
5. Publish your site and verify with the WAVE browser extension.

What is aria input field name?

An "ARIA input field name" is the text label that screen readers and other assistive technologies announce when a user focuses on a form field — a text box, search bar, date picker, quantity field, or any other input that uses an ARIA role like `textbox`, `spinbutton`, `searchbox`, `slider`, or `combobox`. When that label is missing or empty, the field has no accessible name. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) requires every user-interface component to have a name that programs can determine. A field without a label is essentially invisible to assistive technology users.

Screen reader users — including many customers with visual impairments — cannot understand what to type into an unlabeled field, which means they cannot complete your checkout, search for products, or fill in any other form on your site. This directly costs you sales and excludes a significant portion of your potential customers. Legally, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance (which includes SC 4.1.2) is referenced in accessibility laws and regulations in the US (ADA), EU (EAA), UK (PSBAR), and elsewhere — stores with unlabeled form fields are at real legal risk. Search engines also use accessible markup signals as part of overall quality assessment, so fixing this contributes to long-term SEO health.
