I searched the documentation but didn't find any results for "accessibility" or "accessible." So I must ask, how do I make the charts rendered by wpDataTables accessible for screen readers?
Maybe something as simple as a table fallback inside the chart canvas element would work.
I am sorry to say that, at the moment, our plugin is not compatible with screen readers, and it has been brought to the development team's attention, and they will be working on it for one of our future updates. Until then, you would have to manually adjust the code of the plugin to add or remove labels. Us doing this would be considered a customization of the plugin.
Hello - it has been three years since this post. Has there been any progress on making wpDataTables accessible? Our campus takes accessibility seriously and we would like to be able to continue to use this plugin. Thanks!
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, we haven't added this compatibility yet. There aren't as many requests for this and it'd take a lot of time to achieve this. We've expanded our team recently, so I hope there'll be time in the near future to implement this, but I don't have an ETA yet.
I'll ask our developers if this can be prioritized.
