[wp-trac] [WordPress Trac] #63968: Theme 2025 on wordpress.com using voice over on apple phone the primary menu does not open (was: Theme 2025 on wordpress.com using voice over on apple phone the primary menu does not open so all pages must be displayed outside of the menu this causes a lot of navigating and clutter for blind people.I asked to have this fixed at WP.com on Oct 2024 and it still is not fixed. Can you please fix it so when anyone using a screen reader taps on the primary menu the menu will open so people can tap on a page and that page will open. Also a warning text shows up on all forms on WP.com so subscribe, contact etc. So anyone using a screen reader will hear WARNING on the text boxes of the form. Can you please remove the warning text? Blind people will be reluctant to enter their info when there are warning text on the text boxes so limits my ability to develop my business. Thank you, regards, Steph)

 Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 The subscribe and contact forms are for WordPress.com, so WordPress.org
 should not have any effect on their error messages.

 Inability to open the primary menu could be caused by a JavaScript
 conflict somewhere, including plugins, and the WordPress.com version of
 Twenty Twenty-Five might not match the self-hosted theme. However, testing
 with iOS and VoiceOver could be good:
 - Twenty Twenty-Five with a WordPress.com site
 - Twenty Twenty-Five with a self-hosted site and the public version of the
 theme
 - other block theme(s) with the Navigation block
