Description

Flag up potential accessibility issues when your content authors preview the post or page that they have just added or amended.

Currently contains checks for:

  • Images with empty alt attributes
  • Links that open new windows
  • Links that have a title attribute
  • images that have no alt attribute
  • images that have the title attribute
  • svg files that don`t have role=”img”
  • inline svgs that don`t have role=”img”
  • empty headings
  • empty links
  • empty buttons
  • empty headings
  • empty table header cells
  • empty table data cells

Flags each element found with an outline. Where possible explains what the issue is on the page.

Can be configured to only be visible to certain user roles.

Site visitors who are not logged in will not see the potential issues.

Based on the work from Graham Armfield’s CSS tool for highlighting accessibility issues

Installation

  1. Download the plugin’s zip file, extract the contents, and upload them to your wp-content/plugins folder.
  2. Login to your WordPress dashboard, click “Plugins”, and activate “Content Author Accessibility Preview”.
  3. Customise your settings by going to: Settings > Content Author Accessibility Preview.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this plugin make my site “fully accessible”?

Absolutely not. There is no quick fix for accessibility, this plugin is to be used to highlight any potential accessibility issues to your content creators.

Will this be visible to the public?

No. By default, issues will only be highlighted to anyone who is logged in. You can also stop any particular user role from seeing the highlighting in the settings page. ( for example: if you have WooCommerce, you might want to deselect “Customers” from seeing the highlights ).
