How to fix aria progressbar name on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Wix's standard progress bar widget can be configured in the Wix Editor: click the progress bar element → Settings panel — look for a 'Accessible label' or 'Title' field and enter a descriptive name.
2. If no label field is exposed in Settings, switch to Wix Editor → click the element → Accessibility Settings (the person icon in the element toolbar) and enter a label.
3. For progress bars added via Wix Velo (custom code), open your site's code (Dev Mode) and set the `accessibility.ariaLabel` property: `$w('#progressBar1').accessibility.ariaLabel = 'Password strength';`
4. For third-party Wix App Market apps rendering progress bars, contact the app developer to request an `aria-label` option, or use Velo to query the rendered DOM and patch the attribute.
5. Publish the site and test with a screen reader or the Wix Accessibility Wizard.

<!-- OPTION A: aria-label (no visible label nearby) -->
<div
  role="progressbar"
  aria-label="Password strength"
  aria-valuenow="60"
  aria-valuemin="0"
  aria-valuemax="100"
  style="width:60%;"
></div>

<!-- OPTION B: aria-labelledby (visible label exists) -->
<p id="upload-label">File upload progress</p>
<div
  role="progressbar"
  aria-labelledby="upload-label"
  aria-valuenow="40"
  aria-valuemin="0"
  aria-valuemax="100"
  style="width:40%;"
></div>

<!-- OPTION C: native <progress> with <label> -->
<label for="checkout-progress">Checkout: step 2 of 4</label>
<progress id="checkout-progress" value="50" max="100">50%</progress>

What is aria progressbar name?

A progress bar (any HTML element with `role="progressbar"`, including native `<progress>` elements) must have an accessible name — a short label that tells users *what* is progressing. This name is provided via an `aria-label` attribute directly on the element, or by pointing to a visible label using `aria-labelledby`. When neither exists, the progress bar is completely anonymous: assistive technologies announce it as just "progress bar, 0%" with no context about what is being tracked — a password strength meter, a checkout step, a file upload, etc.

Screen reader users — including customers who are blind or have low vision — rely on accessible names to understand your store's interface. An unnamed progress bar during checkout, a file upload, or a product review form creates confusion and can cause those shoppers to abandon the task entirely, costing you sales and harming your brand reputation. Failing to provide accessible names for interactive or informative widgets violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) and 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value), exposing your store to accessibility complaints and potential legal liability in many jurisdictions (e.g., ADA in the US, EN 301 549 in the EU). Fixing it is a quick code change with zero impact on visual design.
