Managing Wordpress Sites with VoiceOver

I maintain multiple Wordpress sites. I have found that core Wordpress is accessible.

Wordpress 5 introduce the block editor (or Gutenberg). That was initially inaccessible. I understand those issues have been addressed in current Wordpress, but I still prefer to use the Classic Editor plugin. I just don't have the time to go off and learn how to use Gutenberg accessibly when I already have a solution that works.

Aside from that, the only accessibility issues I encounter are with plugins and themes. I have managed to avoid plugins and themes that are not accessible for the most part. However, I have encountered some situations where and accessible plugin updates to a new version and breaks accessibility.

Can you name a specific issue you've encountered?

Dustin, I really wish you'd be more specific regarding the difficulties you're experiencing. As a web hosting provider & site developer, I've worked w/several folks using VO on a Mac, & they really don't experience any real problems.

Having thus said, you call yourself "a relative newbie when it comes to using Voiceover", & I would suggest therefore that you might benefit from some additional training in that regard. If so, then certainly I could recommend someone for that (definitively not me), but to do so I'd urge you to contact me privately, as it likely shouldn't be done on a public forum. The folks I've worked with definitively knew their way around their machine as well as VO, so I didn't need to address how to use the various screen reader functions I referred to in my coaching sessions. 1 of the tips I'll give you regarding WordPress is that your screen reader's find command will be your absolute best friend.

I also recommend using Markdown, which the installation of Jetpack facilitates. I can also provide resources for learning it if desired, & I assure you the learning curve is *minimal*.

HTH.
