<p>This plugin offers you the possibility to show people accessibility configurations in your menu. This means that everyone, including people with disabilities, will be able to configure the settings (contrast, font-size, coloration, …) that help them be able to use your website.</p>
<p>Here is a <a href="https://demo.wpinclusion.com/a11y-kit" rel="nofollow ugc">demo</a>.<br />
Follow the evolution of the plugin trough the <a href="https://github.com/multimedianj/a11y-kit" rel="nofollow ugc">Github repository</a>.</p>
<p>In order to make the plugin works, you need to create a menu first.<br />
In your menu, you simply need to add a CSS class in this way <strong>“wpak_DISABILITY_PROPERTY”</strong>.</p>
<p>Where to add the CSS class mentioned above ?<br />
– In the menu you’re in (Appearance > Menus > name_of_your_menu), you first click on an item you want to have the ability to change the state (accessibility menu item).<br />
– Then, you should have the field “CSS Classes (optional)”. Inside this field, you can add the class in this way : <strong>“wpak_DISABILITY_PROPERTY”</strong> (see examples from the pre-configured classes below).<br />
– If the field “CSS Classes (optional)” is not visible, you just have to look for the “Screen Options” button in the top-right corner of the page. Then, search for the checkbox “CSS Classes” which should be checked in order for the field to be visible. Finally, return to the field and add your class.</p>
<h3>List of the pre-configured classes</h3>
<h4>Coloration</h4>
<ul>
<li>“wpak_color_normal” (normal state)</li>
<li>“wpak_color_dark” (dark mode)</li>
<li>“wpak_color_monochrome” (shades of gray, monochrome)</li>
<li>“wpak_color_highcontrast” (high contrast)</li>

</ul>
<h4>Reset button</h4>

<h3>Add an icon instead of text</h3>
<p>You can use the field for the title to add HTML code. With HTML code, it is possible to add<br />
– An image: <code><img src="link_of_your_image.png" alt="name_of_property" /></code><br />

<p>Ally (formerly One Click Accessibility) is a free, powerful, and user-friendly plugin that helps WordPress creators build more accessible websites with ease.<br />
It simplifies accessibility with three essential tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ally Assistant</strong> – Scan your pages, detect accessibility violations, and follow guided steps to fix them. Make manual adjustments or apply AI-powered suggestions, and track your progress.</li>
<li><strong>Usability widget</strong> – Let visitors personalize their browsing experience with a floating accessibility menu. Features include font resizing, color contrast, image hiding, animation pausing, language selection, screen reader support, and more.</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility statement generator</strong> – Create a fully customized accessibility statement and publish it automatically on your site, helping meet WCAG and legal requirements.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>No expertise required</strong> -just activate, configure, and start making your site more inclusive today.Built by Elementor. Designed for every WordPress site. Ally is web accessibility—simplified.</p>
<h3>Why does web accessibility matter?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Who Needs It?</strong> Every website owner—businesses, creators, and agencies.</li>
<li><strong>Who is Responsible?</strong> Website owners are legally and ethically responsible for accessibility. The web creator—who designs and builds the site—must implement and adjust accessibility features to ensure compliance with WCAG guidelines and provide an inclusive experience for all users.</li>
<li><strong>Why Now?</strong> Rising legal requirements (WCAG, EAA) and better user experience.</li>
<li><strong>Why Should You Care?</strong>  An accessible website isn’t just ethical; it’s good business. By prioritizing inclusivity, you improve user experience for everyone, boost your search engine rankings, and attract a wider audience.</li>
</ul>
<h3>It’s the Law</h3>
<p>As accessibility standards continue to evolve and become mandatory, it’s important to start making website adjustments to comply with fast-approaching global regulations. Among its other capabilities, this plugin lets you instantly generate your website’s Accessibility Statement, which is now mandatory in most locales.</p>
<p>The Ally plugin is not a substitute for a thorough accessibility audit and is NOT intended to completely make your website legally compliant. However, with it, you’re one step closer to making your website inclusive to more visitors, including those with visual, auditory or cognitive challenges.</p>
<p>Ensuring that your website complies with all applicable accessibility requirements is your responsibility. We recommend working with qualified accessibility professionals to help achieve full compliance.</p>

Ally – Web Accessibility & Usability

Clicking on greyscale makes the accessibility icon disappear without the ability to go back and uncheck the option. 
Did not check any other functions as this is enough reason for me to abandon this plugin. 

Greyscale bug


Installed it. It added a icon to the front page. The icon did nothing. No response when clicked, no errors in the console log.


Does nothing

A must have plugin


It used to be free, now you have to pay.  


Used to be great!


requires elementor accountSuch plugins do not ensure website accessibility. If you want an accessible website, you need to think about it when creating it. The very fact that Elementor's creators have something to do with this plugin is a big red flag.
