Reply To: Close menu on click of Options button and outside of container

[Shikkediel]

Reading the site, I understand it might be quite impossible for you to create a Codepen. But I really have no idea which element should be selected for the screen reader. You could give this variation a go :

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

    $('.bbp-admin-links:even').css({position: 'absolute', right: 380});

    $('.bbp-meta ul.bbp_custom_links_menu li.parent > a').click(function(e) {

        var options = $(this).closest('ul');

        if (options.attr('aria-expanded') == 'true') options.attr('aria-expanded', 'false');
        else options.attr('aria-expanded', 'true');

        $(this).next('.bbp_custom_links_submenu').toggle();
        e.preventDefault();
    })
    .on('mouseup touchend', function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });

    $(document).on('mouseup touchend', function(e) {

        if (!$(e.target).closest('.bbp_custom_links_submenu').length) {
        $('.bbp_custom_links_submenu').hide();
        $('.bbp_custom_links_menu').attr('aria-expanded', 'false');
        }
    });
});
