Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32892

Changes the semantic structure so that:

  • Checkbox columns use <td> instead of <th scope="row">
  • Primary content columns (like post titles) use <th scope="row"> as proper row headers

This ensures screen readers announce meaningful content (post titles, usernames, etc.) as row headers instead of "Select [item]" from checkboxes.

Other list tables, such as the Users list and multi-site tables, are yet to be updated. Additionally, the styling has been affected, which I will address in the subsequent commits.

Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

  • The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
  • All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
  • All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
  • A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
  • Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
    it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.
