Shows the post's excerpt in a highlighted "In short" box at the top of single posts, giving every reader, including people with reading or cognitive disabilities, a simple summary before the full text.
Adds a checkbox to each user's profile that makes the text in the block editor larger and more spaced out, for authors who find the default editor text hard to read.
Adds a dropdown to the Media Library list view that shows only images without alternative text, so you can fix them one by one.
Adds a floating button that lets any visitor stop animations, transitions and autoplaying videos on the site. The choice is remembered on their device.
Adds a small link at the bottom of every page inviting visitors to report accessibility barriers by email, with the page address filled in for you.
After you save a post or page, shows a notice if the content has images without alt text, empty links, empty headings or skipped heading levels. Works with the block editor and the classic editor.
Adds an "A11y check" item to the admin bar on the front of the site. Clicking it outlines images without alt text, empty links and buttons, unlabeled fields and skipped headings on the current page and shows a count.
Adds Tools > Accessibility Report, which checks your published posts and pages for images without alt text, empty links, iframes without titles and skipped heading levels, and lists each problem with an edit link.
Adds an [accessibility_statement] shortcode that prints a ready-made accessibility statement with your site name, target standard, contact email and review date.
Adds a small floating accessibility button that opens a panel with larger text, high contrast, highlighted links, a readable font and a reset option. Choices are remembered on the visitor's device.
Gives numbered pagination links clear labels such as "Page 3" and names the pagination landmark "Posts pages", so screen reader users know what each link does.
Adds a real button with aria-expanded next to every menu item that has a sub-menu in classic menus, so keyboard and screen reader users can open and close sub-menus.
Finds form fields on the page that have a placeholder but no label or accessible name and gives them one from the placeholder text, a common problem with theme and plugin forms.
Gives iframes in post content a title attribute when they lack one (for example "YouTube video" or "Embedded map"), so screen reader users know what each frame contains.
Adds scope="col" or scope="row" to table header cells in post content that lack it, so screen readers can tie each data cell to its header.
Marks the theme's main content area with role="main" when the page has no main element, so screen reader users can jump straight to the content.
Sets the lang attribute on the page's html element from your site language when a theme forgets to print it, so screen readers pronounce your content in the right language.
Removes maximum-scale and user-scalable=no from the page's viewport tag when a theme or plugin adds them, so visitors can zoom in on phones as WCAG requires.
Adds Media > Alt Text Editor, a page that lists images without alternative text with a thumbnail and a text field next to each, so you can describe dozens of images quickly and save them all at once.
Makes links inside posts and pages underlined, so they can be recognised without relying on color alone, as WCAG requires for links in text.
Makes screen readers announce when a product is added to the cart with AJAX on shop and category pages, which otherwise happens silently.
Tells screen reader users when the cart has been updated after they change a quantity, remove a product or apply a coupon on the classic cart page, which otherwise happens silently.
Adds hidden "(opens in a new tab)" text and a small icon to links in post content that open a new window, so screen reader and keyboard users are not surprised.
On search result pages, tells screen reader users how many results were found for their search as soon as the page loads.
