Aria labels missing on product block

I am running the latest version of wordpress and woocommerce with the blocksy plugin on my site at 20thcenturybox.com. 

When I check accessibility on the blocksy generated shop page all the Aria labels are in place and I get no error.

However, on my front page that is built with Brizy I have used the product grid element and the accessibility checker reports the links have no labels. I include a couple of pictures for your attention.

Is this a Brizy bug or can I add the labels somewhere in the Brizy builder?

Blocksy theme generated shop page below.

  Hi,

  Thank you for reporting this. 

  Currently, adding contextual ARIA labels to links in Brizy’s Product Grid element is a limitation of Brizy Pro. We have submitted this as a feature improvement for consideration in a future Brizy Pro release. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

  If you have any further questions, please let us know.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Thank you for the reply. 

  I appreciate this may take a while to implement, but I think the term "consideration in a future Brizy Pro release" is disappointing. I think this should be a MUST, and NOT a consideration.

  As it stands the site doesn't meet accessibility standards and leaves web site owners open to legal action being taken against them.

  Secondly, I built my site many years ago with an older version of Brizy, and back then the product element took the data from the theme. So it seems the current product element is a bit of a downgrade on what was there before.

  Thankfully I kept a saved layout of the home page and restored it to the previous version and if you check the page out now, it passes all accessibility tests when it comes to the links test.

  So if the developers just reinstate what was there before, then that would fix the issue.
  
  See the screenshot here of the old element in action and you can see it take up the theme data by the extra elements overlaying the pictures and the links all being accessible.

  Hi,

  Thank you for the additional details and for sharing the screenshot.

  It appears that the shop page is not currently using a Brizy-built product layout. Instead, it is displaying Blocksy’s WooCommerce template, which is why the required ARIA labels are working correctly.

  We apologize that we cannot guarantee how soon the same functionality can be implemented in Brizy. However, we have already raised the issue with our development team for further investigation.

  In the meantime, we recommend keeping your current setup, as it provides the necessary accessibility labels and passes the relevant tests.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.
