Slick slider accessibility

    Hello,

    I have a question about availability. Everything fits almost perfectly, but when you change the slide for a split second, the slide remains available to all users (aria-hidden=”false”), while the linked content is temporarily removed from keyboard navigation (tabindex= “-1”). This means that the link is present in the accessibility tree but is unavailable via keyboard navigation.
    Have you encountered such a situation?

    <div class="featured-article-slider-content focus-inset slick-slide slick-current slick-active" data-slick-index="1" aria-hidden="false" tabindex="-1" role="tabpanel" id="slick-slide11" aria-labelledby="slick-slide-control11" style="width: 720px; position: relative; left: -720px; top: 0px; z-index: 1000; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 500ms ease 0s;">
    <div class="article-tag-button">
      <a href="/blogs/blog-1/tagged/profiles" class="text-button focus-inset" tabindex="-1">
       Profiles
      </a>
    </div>

    this is the code caught in that split second

    Hi @maksym91,

    The plugin you opened this forum thread for (https://wordpress.org/plugins/slick-slider/) does not generate the HTML markup you posted in your message, so you’re not using that plugin. Also, your question is about the underlying “slick” jQuery library, not any WordPress plugin wrapper around it so that you won’t find answers here on wordpress.org. In fact, given that slick has been abandoned (see here for more details), I’m afraid you won’t find a solution to your problem anywhere on the internet.

    Good luck! Setting this thread to resolved.
