<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>
