WordPress 3.3 is coming up on RC1 (meaning it’s close to launch). We tried to catch as many accessibility issues as we could, but chances are we missed things. If anyone would be willing to run 3.3 beta through the paces and report back on how it does/what fixes need to be made, that would be great. If you’re not set up with an svn install, you can download the beta tester plugin to put the beta on a test site.

Test.

Are you primarily thinking back end or front end or both, and should we reply here – or elsewhere?

Mainly the dashboard, since that’s where the changes are in 3.3. Responses in comments on this thread.

Not accessibility I know but not sure where to put this…. It seems impossible to switch comments off at the individual page level.
General settings are to allow comments. I edit a page and uncheck Allow comments and then Update the page. I’m returned to the edit page again and the comments checkbox is checked again. Not sure if it’s theme dependant but it happens on both twentyten and twentyeleven.

Hi Graham. Please don’t use this blog for non-accessibility bugs, feature requests, etc. Try the support forums for troubleshooting. http://wordpress.org/support

Hi Jane. Understand that I’ve missed the boat on accessibility updates for 3.3. So looking forward to 3.4, please can you outline the correct route for people like myself to suggest accessibility enhancements. In order to get accessibility as right as possible I believe it’s important to design it in as early as possible.
Thanks
Graham
