Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63199

This PR enhances the accessibility of admin notices by adding support for the aria-live attribute in the settings_errors() function. This also adds the ability to control the aria-live attribute, which helps direct screen reader users' attention to these notices with appropriate urgency levels.

  • Added an optional 'aria_live' parameter to add_settings_error()
  • Updated settings_errors() to output the aria-live attribute when provided

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.
