How to fix landmark no duplicate main on Wix Studio

Steps for Wix Studio

1. In Wix Studio, open the page in the Editor. Click on each section/container and check its element settings — avoid assigning 'role="main"' via custom attributes to more than one element.
2. Open the site's custom code panel (Site › Custom Code or the Dev Mode panel) and search for any injected 'role="main"' strings in head or body code snippets.
3. If using Velo (Dev Mode enabled), inspect the page's '$w' element tree in code and ensure no custom HTML component outputs a '<main>' tag when one already exists in the page structure.
4. Test with WAVE or axe DevTools browser extension on the published or preview URL.

<main>
  <!-- All unique page content lives here — product listings,
       article body, cart, etc. -->
</main>

<!-- ✅ Only ONE <main> per page. Everything else uses
     <header>, <nav>, <aside>, <footer>, <section>, or <article>. -->

<!-- ❌ Do NOT add a second <main> or role="main" anywhere else on the same page -->
<!-- <div role="main">…</div>  ← remove this if <main> already exists -->

What is landmark no duplicate main?

Every web page should have exactly one "main landmark" — the region that holds the page's primary, unique content. This is created by using the HTML `<main>` tag or by adding `role="main"` to any container element. When a page accidentally includes two or more of these landmarks (for example, because a theme template wraps content in `<main>` and a widget or app adds another one), assistive technologies become confused about where the real content starts. The WCAG rule `landmark-no-duplicate-main` flags this exact situation.

Screen-reader users rely on landmarks to skip repetitive navigation and jump straight to what matters on a page — this is a foundational accessibility technique. When two `<main>` landmarks exist, screen readers may announce the wrong region, navigate to the wrong place, or skip content entirely, making your store effectively unusable for a significant portion of shoppers with disabilities. In many jurisdictions (USA, EU, UK, Australia) selling online to the public creates legal obligations under accessibility laws such as the ADA, EAA, and WCAG-based regulations; duplicate landmarks are a clear, auditable WCAG 2.x violation that can appear in demand letters and audits. Fixing it also signals clean, well-structured HTML to search engines, which can marginally support crawlability and indexing.
