Updated for Lumtera 1.2.2 and Lumtera Pro 1.1.1.

Why does it matter?

Lines typed with "-", "•" or "1." look like a list but are not announced as one, so screen reader users lose the item count and cannot skip past it.

Who it affects: Screen reader users, who rely on real lists and paragraphs to hear how content is grouped and how many items there are.

What does Lumtera flag?

Consecutive paragraphs that start with a dash, bullet or number.

Check ID list-fake — use it to filter the content report or with wp lumtera issues --rule.

How do I fix it in WordPress?

Convert the lines into a List block (select the paragraphs and choose Transform → List). Screen readers then announce "list, 4 items" and let visitors skip it.

In the block editor, this issue has a Fix button: one click repairs the block, and Undo puts it back.

Example

Flagged
<p>- Free shipping</p>
<p>- 30-day returns</p>
Fixed
<ul>
  <li>Free shipping</li>
  <li>30-day returns</li>
</ul>

How do I check the fix?

  1. Update the post. The issue disappears from the Lumtera Accessibility sidebar on the next check, and from the site report on the next scan.
  2. With a screen reader, move to the list. It should announce "list, 3 items" (or similar) before the first item.

Find this issue across your whole site

Lumtera runs this check in the block editor sidebar as you write, in the Elementor panel, in Review mode on the live page, and across the whole site in the content report and with wp lumtera scan. You can change its severity or turn it off in Lumtera → Settings.
