<p>This plug-in helps with a variety of common accessibility problems in WordPress themes. While most accessibility issues can’t be addressed without directly changing your theme, WP Accessibility adds a number of helpful accessibility features with a minimum amount of setup or expert knowledge.</p>
<p>WP Accessibility is not intended to make your site compatible with any accessibility guidelines.</p>
<p>All features can be disabled according to your theme’s needs. For advanced users, all of the functions based on modifying stylesheets can be customized using your own custom styles by placing the appropriate stylesheet in your theme directory.</p>
<h4>Theme Accessibility Features added by WP Accessibility</h4>
<p>These are features that address issues caused by inaccessible themes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add skip links with user-defined targets. (Customizable targets and appearance.)</li>
<li>Add language and text direction attributes to your HTML attribute if missing.</li>
<li>Add an outline to the keyboard focus state for focusable elements.</li>
<li>Add a long description to images. Use the image’s “Description” field to add long descriptions.</li>
<li>Enforcement for alt attributes on images in the Classic editor.</li>
<li>Identify images without alt attributes in the Media Library</li>
<li>Add labels to standard WordPress form fields (search, comments)</li>
<li>Add post titles to “read more” links.</li>
<li>Remove tabindex from elements that are focusable. (Also fixes plugin-caused problems.)</li>
<li>Remove user-scalable=no to allow resizing.</li>
</ul>
<h4>WordPress Core Accessibility Issues fixed by WP Accessibility</h4>
<p>These are features that address issues caused by current or past WordPress core accessibility issues. (Issues added in content, such as target or title attributes, are persistent even when WordPress is updated.)</p>
<ul>
<li>Force a search page error when a search is made with an empty text string. (If your theme has a search.php template.)</li>
<li>Remove redundant title attributes from tag clouds.</li>
<li>Disable default enabling of full screen block editor.</li>
</ul>
<p>Content specific fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strip title attributes from images inserted into content.</li>
<li>Remove the target attribute from links.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility Tools in WP Accessibility:</h4>
<p>These are tools provided to help you identify issues you may need to fix.</p>
<ul>
<li>Test the color contrast between two provided hexadecimal color values.</li>
<li>Enable diagnostic CSS to show CSS-detectable problems in visual editor or on front-end of site.</li>

<p>The plug-in is intended to help with deficiencies commonly found in themes and to solve some issues in WordPress core. It can’t correct every problem (by a long shot), but provides tools to fix some issues, supplement the accessibility of your site, or identify problems.</p>
<h4>Statistics Collection</h4>
<p>WP Accessibility includes a statistics collection feature to help you identify how WP Accessibility is used on your site. This package does not collect any personally identifying data.</p>

WP Accessibility

My theme doesn't come with accessibility out of the box. WP Accessibility fixed some of those. Brilliant plugin and above all it is free.

Top Class!!

Essenziale per rispettare le regole di accessibilità.

Plugin eccellente

WP Accessibility fixes common accessibility issues in your WordPress site.

<p>Access Monitor runs accessibility tests of your WordPress site. It runs an automated scan of your site using the Tenon.io web accessibility service.</p>
<p>Access Monitor requires an API key for Tenon.io. <a href="https://tenon.io/pricing.php" rel="nofollow ugc">Get your API key now!</a> (Affiliate link)</p>
<h4>Monitor Site Accessibility</h4>
<p>No matter how hard you work to make your web site accessible, if you’re adding new content regularly, the accessibility of your site changes equally often. If you change your theme, you may have a whole new set of issues.</p>
<p>Access Monitor does two great things to help you test your site for accessibility.</p>
<p><strong>First</strong>, it gives you the freedom of automation – schedule a weekly or monthly report, and get notified each time a report is run. Test a specific set of pages, and return a list of definite accessibility issues.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, it only reports accessibility issues that are machine-testable. It’s won’t raise red flags because it couldn’t tell whether an issue is a problem.</p>
<p>Access Monitor uses <a href="http://tenon.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Tenon.io</a>, an automated accessibility testing service developed by web accessibility guru <a href="http://karlgroves.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Karl Groves</a>. Tenon does what an automated tool should do – it delivers a report telling you what the issue is, where it was found, why it’s an issue, and who is affected by it.</p>
<p>A perfect score in Access Monitor doesn’t mean that your web site is accessible – there’s no way around manual testing. But Access Monitor makes sure that if an issue can be found using automation, you’ll know about it.</p>
<h4>Learn about Tenon and Automated Accessibility</h4>

<h4>Test your WordPress Site</h4>
<p>Run a one-time test or schedule a test to be run on a weekly or monthly basis. All tests run through this system are saved for later review and comparison so you can track the performance of a page or a test over time.</p>
<ul>
<li>Duplicate issues are filtered out. If an accessibility issue appears on multiple pages, it will be shown the first time it’s identified.</li>
<li>Re-run any test from the Accessibility Reports screen at any time. Re-running a test will create a new test on the same pages using the same parameters.</li>
<li>Apply rules that will test posts before you publish them and reject publication if they don’t meet your criteria</li>
</ul>
<h4>Test the WordPress Admin</h4>
<p>You can test the page you’re viewing using a link in the admin bar labeled ‘A11y Check’.</p>
<ul>
<li>On the front-end, only Pages and individual posts or custom post type pages can be tested. Archive pages are not currently passed to Tenon.</li>
