 In the WordPress Events and News widget, after "Attend an upcoming event
 near you" there is a pencil icon. Clicking this icon opens up a search bar
 so you can type in what city you are in (or want to find events near). The
 pencil icon typical represents an ability to edit information. In this
 case, it's editing, or changing, the location. But there is not enough
 context to make that clear, unless you are accessing the ARIA labels.

 This can be confusing to users with neurological disabilities, as well as
 users who are nervous about making changes to things on their site they
 aren't sure about.

 I propose changing the icon to a text button that reads something like
 "Change location" so that it is very clear to all users what its purpose
 is.
