    Hi Chez,

    Hope you are doing good today. :slight_smile:

    The theme already adds language attribute automatically via the following line in the header.php file:

    <html class="<?php avada_the_html_class(); ?>" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    So at the moment, there are two HTML added in the header.php file like this:

    <html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns= "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    
<html class="<?php avada_the_html_class(); ?>" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    Currently, the language is set as en-GB, which can be changed to “en”(English US) via the WordPress dashboard, under Settings > General > Site Language

    Once done, remove the HTML added by you, and edit the existing HTML added via the theme to the following:

    <html class="<?php avada_the_html_class(); ?>" <?php language_attributes(); ?> xml:lang="en">

    Please do clear the cache, and then check how the results go with accessibility. Hope this helps.

    Kind Regards,

    Nithin
