How to fix aria valid attr on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open the Wix Editor for your site.
2. If the invalid ARIA attribute is in a custom HTML element, click on that element → Settings → and edit the HTML/JavaScript code directly to correct the attribute name.
3. If it is in a Wix Velo (code) file, open the Dev Mode panel (turn on Dev Mode if not already active) and search your page or site code files for the misspelled attribute.
4. Correct the attribute name in the code and publish your site.
5. If the issue originates from a Wix App or a Wix-native widget (e.g. Wix Stores product gallery), you cannot edit that output directly — report it to Wix Support or the app developer via the Wix App Market.
6. After publishing, use the axe DevTools extension on your live site to confirm the fix.

What is aria valid attr?

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes are special HTML attributes — like `aria-label`, `aria-labelledby`, or `aria-hidden` — that tell screen readers and other assistive technologies what an element is and how it behaves. Every valid ARIA attribute has an exact, officially defined name. An "invalid ARIA attribute name" means your HTML contains an ARIA attribute that doesn't exist in the official specification — most commonly a typo like `aria-labeledby` (one 'l' instead of two) instead of `aria-labelledby`. Because the attribute name is wrong, the browser and assistive technology silently ignore it entirely, as if it were never there.

When an ARIA attribute name is misspelled, screen readers receive no accessibility information from it — the element appears unlabelled or unidentifiable to blind and low-vision shoppers. This directly harms the shopping experience for millions of people with disabilities and puts your store at legal risk under laws like the ADA (US), AODA (Canada), EAA (EU), and Equality Act (UK), all of which reference WCAG 2.x conformance. Accessibility lawsuits targeting online stores have increased sharply year over year, and a simple typo is exactly the kind of findable, actionable violation that appears in demand letters. Fixing it is quick and meaningfully improves usability for customers using assistive technology, which can also improve conversion rates in that segment.
