wpDataTables Highcharts Accessibility Fix

Problem

The Highcharts accessibility module isn't auto-detecting headings for charts added with wpDataTables, so it's adding h6 tags by default. This causes accessibility audits to fail due to skipping headings.

Solution

The title and heading can be customized or removed using the using the wpdatatables_filter_highcharts_render_data' filter. See below for a code example .

iThemes Security Banned Users Apache Fix

Enables custom IP and Basic Auth restrictions with iThemes Banned Users module enabled.

The 'Require all granted' directive gives access to any host not banned in the list, ignoring any other restrictions in the .htaccess file. This results in basic authentication and other rules not working.

SVG Notes

To create the CSS from a Photoshop template file:

For any non-shape layers (including text layers), make a copy. Right-click the copied layer and click 'Convert to Shape'
The converted Department Name shape layer should be renamed to "Unit Text"
If a shape should have a default color, set the color.
Rename layers if needed. The layer name becomes the path id in the svg.
Hide layers that don't need to be exported as paths.
Select the layers that should be exported. (Bar, Logo, Parent Unit Text, Unit Text)

Add menus to a WordPress Theme

function theme_setup() {
    register_nav_menus( array(
		'main_menu' => esc_html__( 'Main Menu', 'theme' ),
	) );
}

	# Set this to the root of your project when deployed:
	http_path = "/"
	css_dir = "."
	sass_dir = "sass"
	images_dir = "images"
	javascripts_dir = "js"

	# To enable sourcemap output, set this to true

	{
	"browser" : "chrome"
	}
