• 1 <i> was used, in the past, for italics, but that's not standard any longer. <em> is what you're supposed to use for 'emphasis, it's just semantically correct code. So either you've used <i>italics</i>` in your content or some developer whose theme/plugin you're using is still using that as a fallback. (Also <b> for bold has been replaced with <strong>. – Tony Djukic Commented Mar 13, 2021 at 6:00

Nothing. It hasn’t identified an actual problem. It thinks you’re using an i tag for italics, but you’re not.

If you absolutely need the error to go away, you would need to find a way to get achecker to ignore the problem, and that's a question for them, rather than anything to do with WordPress.
