Snippets that make WordPress easier for everyone to use: skip links, focus styles, better link text and fixes for common accessibility issues. For site owners who want a site that works with keyboards and screen readers.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Gives menu links, pagination links, icon buttons and form controls a minimum 24 by 24 pixel tap area, the WCAG 2.2 target size minimum, without changing how they look.
Disables the Publish and Update buttons in the block editor while any image block is missing alternative text, and shows a notice explaining why.
Styles buttons from one brand color and picks black or white text automatically based on how light the color is, with matching hover and focus states, so button text always stays readable.
Adds a [transcript] shortcode that wraps the text version of a podcast or video in an accessible show/hide section, so every recording can have a transcript without cluttering the page.
Adds a Tools > Contrast Checker page where you pick a text and background color and instantly see the WCAG contrast ratio and whether it passes AA and AAA for normal and large text.
Adds the post title as hidden text to "Read more" and "Continue reading" links, so screen reader users hear where each link goes instead of a list of identical links.
Adds aria-labels like "Previous post: Title" to the previous and next post links in classic themes, so screen readers announce where each link leads.
Makes buttons, focus outlines, icons and custom checkboxes stay visible when visitors use Windows High Contrast or another forced-colors mode, where many themes lose borders and icons.
Adds an accessible name to the search field of theme search forms that have no label, so screen reader users hear "Search" instead of an unlabeled text field.
