Royal Plugins

Royal Access is a free WordPress accessibility plugin with a frontend toolbar, automatic WCAG code fixes, a contrast checker, and an accessibility statement generator — no account required, no external dependencies, no SaaS subscription.
Built for WCAG 2.2, ADA, Section 508, and European Accessibility Act (EAA) awareness. Includes a bundled dyslexia-friendly font (OpenDyslexic) that most accessibility plugins don’t offer.
Not an overlay. Unlike tools condemned by accessibility professionals and fined by the FTC, Royal Access does NOT reparse the DOM, does NOT interfere with screen readers, and does NOT inject AI-generated ARIA. It simply provides user controls that work WITH assistive technology.
<h4>Frontend Accessibility Toolbar</h4>
A small floating button that opens a panel with 14 accessibility controls:
<ul>
<li>Font Size — Scale text up or down (5 levels)</li>
<li>High Contrast — Black background with white/yellow text</li>
<li>Dark Mode — Dark background with light text</li>
<li>Dyslexia Font — OpenDyslexic font for easier reading</li>
<li>Line Height — Increase line spacing for readability</li>
<li>Letter Spacing — Increase letter spacing</li>
<li>Word Spacing — Increase word spacing</li>
<li>Highlight Links — Underline and outline all links</li>
<li>Big Cursor — Larger mouse cursor</li>
<li>Stop Animations — Disable all animations and transitions</li>
<li>Hide Images — Dim images for distraction-free reading</li>
<li>Monochrome — Convert page to greyscale</li>
<li>Reading Guide — Horizontal highlight bar follows mouse</li>
<li>Highlight Focus — Extra-visible focus indicators</li>
<li>Reset All — Return to defaults</li>
</ul>
All user preferences are saved in the browser (localStorage) and persist across page loads — no cookies, no server calls, fully GDPR-friendly.
<h4>Automatic Code-Level Fixes</h4>
Applied server-side via WordPress hooks — no user action needed:
<ul>
<li>Skip-to-Content Link — Keyboard-accessible link to skip navigation</li>
<li>Focus Indicators — Consistent :focus-visible outlines on all elements</li>
<li>Viewport Zoom Fix — Removes user-scalable=no so users can pinch-to-zoom</li>
<li>Read More Context — Adds post title to “Read more” links for screen readers</li>
</ul>
<h4>Admin Tools</h4>
<ul>
<li>Accessibility Checklist — 8-item checklist showing which accessibility features are active</li>
<li>Contrast Checker — Verify your colors meet WCAG AA/AAA standards</li>
<li>Statement Generator — Generate a starting-point accessibility statement template (WCAG 2.1, 2.2, or EAA) — must be reviewed and customized before publishing</li>
<li>Per-Feature Controls — Enable/disable any toolbar feature individually</li>
</ul>

AccessiBar adds a floating accessibility button to your website. When visitors click it, a compact toolbar appears with tools that let them adjust the site to their needs — increase font size, enable high contrast mode, switch to a dyslexia-friendly font, and more.
Why AccessiBar?
Many accessibility plugins have moved to a SaaS model — requiring subscriptions, limiting free features behind paywalls, making external API calls, and raising GDPR concerns. AccessiBar takes a different approach:
<ul>
<li>No paywalls. Every feature works without any subscription or premium tier.</li>
<li>Zero external requests. No CDNs, no third-party APIs, no Google Fonts. Everything runs locally from your server.</li>
<li>GDPR-compliant by design. No cookies are set. User preferences are stored in the browser’s localStorage — no data ever leaves the visitor’s device.</li>
<li>Zero dependencies. Works with any WordPress theme and page builder — no Elementor, no Divi, no specific theme required.</li>
<li>No server-side processing. No database tables, no server load, no SQL queries. Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.</li>
<li>Lightweight. Under 45KB total frontend footprint (CSS + JS + font). Your site stays fast.</li>
<li>Keyboard accessible. The toolbar itself is fully navigable with Tab, Enter, and Escape keys, with proper ARIA attributes and focus management.</li>
</ul>
Toolbar Features:
<ul>
<li>Font Size Controls — Increase, decrease, or reset the page font size.</li>
<li>High Contrast Mode — Dark background with light text and highlighted links for better readability.</li>
<li>Highlight Links — Makes all links visually distinct with outlines and underlines.</li>
<li>Readable Font — Switches to OpenDyslexic, a typeface designed for readers with dyslexia. The font file is bundled locally.</li>
<li>Stop Animations — Disables all CSS animations and transitions for visitors with motion sensitivities.</li>
<li>Large Cursor — Increases the mouse cursor size for easier tracking.</li>
</ul>
All preferences are remembered across page loads via localStorage.
Admin Settings:
<ul>
<li>Button position (any corner)</li>
<li>Button color</li>
<li>Button size (small, medium, large)</li>
<li>Optional button label text</li>
<li>Toggle individual toolbar features on/off</li>
